http://www.apple.com/ipodshuffle/

i dont know if its just me, but they changed the trident gum, and the bubbleyum gum pictures that they show next to their ipod shuffle.

it sort of looks better than the previous pictures they had with it.

I tried that flavor of Trident the other day. it's quite strange. Tastes kinda like Mango at first, which is good, but then it loses most of its flavor and just keeps this kind of fake sweet and mildly sour taste. Doesn't dethrone mint gum

That's called “product placement” and it's used extensively in movies and television. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Apple accepted money for that. Or perhaps it's just Steve's favourite chewing gum.

The old Trident picture is still on the Greek iPod Shuffle page. And the "do not eat" disclaimer is still there, too:

Just wondering, why is the page www/rainbow.apple...etc? Funny to see things such as 'anaparagoges me to BATTERY PACK, pou...' I'm sure they could have come up with a Greek equivalent!

Rainbow Computers is the Apple Representative in Greece. (The Greek term is antiprosopos).
