The brand of chewing gum that shares its name with Poseidon’s weapon is Trident. Known as a three-pronged spear, the trident is a symbol of the Greek sea god Poseidon, as well as Neptune, his Roman counterpart. Historically, the trident was used for spear fishing and as a weapon in battle. The name “trident” is derived from the Latin words tri (meaning “three”) and dentes (meaning “teeth”). Trident gum, a popular sugar-free chewing gum, became even more notable in 1980 when it was declared the official gum of the White House by Jimmy Carter.
