Why haven't Walkers Crisps decided to sell their products in America as their products are highly successful here in England?

Walkers is the English label for the international brand 'Lays'. Lays are essentially Walkers under a different brand name. I guess that they've decided to keep the change-hating British public happy as opposed to having a universal product name. The British market always goes berzerk when a product's name is changed. Remember the riots of 86 when Marathon changed to Snickers?? Or the Bank of England bombing because Opal Fruits wanted to join its European colleges and turn over to Starburst. Or When the Queen went on hunger strike because she was no longer able to clean the royal toilet with Jif liquid, but instead had to use Cif. I think Lays are making a good choice by keeping Walkers for us.
And now Switch is becoming Maestro .... ... anyway, if Walkers changed, mavbe Gary Linekar would lay low sorry
Greece sell Walkers, so it's not just the UK
Maybe the Greeks hate change too. Well, judging by the state of their country and economy, they quite clearly haven't changed much over the last 50 years.
cause the americans r fat enough
actually in greece they do Walkers, Lays, KP, and loads of others
I went to Zante in Greece this year and it was absolutely gorgeous, so I am pretty certain you cannot judge the whole of Greece jamestate.
They have walkers in greece in the english resorts ie Kavos specialy for the english tourists. They import lots of english food as the people that go there are so fussy. Its only walkers in the uk. doesnt sound very greek does it?
Its actually all part of Pepsi.
