Pixar's Inside Out traded a scene where a young Riley refuses to eat her broccoli for one involving bell peppers in Japan. Why? Because it turns out that kids around the world are grossed out by different vegetables.

Being force-fed healthy food is a childhood experience anyone can relate to, but it just so happens that Japanese youngsters love their broccoli and wouldn't have related to Riley's revulsion in this scene.
