You know what was weird? I got these at Lowes, but I had a heckuva time getting to the shelves because there were about a dozen Japanese tourists in the aisle, filling up shopping carts as fast as they could. I asked one of the salespeople, and she said they saw a lot of Japanese buying; she supposed that it was cheaper to buy plumbing parts here and ship them back to Japan than to buy them there. I can't fault the logic, but I wonder if that's really it. As I recall, Japan still has more mom-and-pop retailers than big-boxes; maybe it's the novelty that appeals to them.
