 		[OT] Gum name changes
So I am in France on a lecture tour and decided to see if they have any gum here. They do but the names have been changed (to protect the innocent I guess)

Solstice is called Instinct and the pink one is called Flood. Rain was something else odd. Just thought this was interesting. As you were....

I am always fascinated by cultural differences. For comparison, here are some links to the official flavors and descriptions.

USA:
http://www.wrigley.com/global/brands/5-gum.aspx#panel-2
(Note, they have not yet added Swerve to this list, and I thought I heard that Zing was discontinued?)

UK:
http://www.wrigley.com/uk/brands/5-gum.aspx
(Only 3 flavors, sadly)
PULSE = Lush
FLOOD = Elixir

Australia:
http://www.wrigley.com/aunz/brands/5-gum.aspx
Electro = Rain
Tempest = Prism

Looks like what you've found in France matches the Germany product list:
http://www.wrigley.de/5gum/index.htm
• COBALT® – a cooling peppermint
• ELECTRO™ – a tingling spearmint (=Rain)
• PULSE® - a crisp tropical (=Lush)
• FLOOD - a mouthwatering berry (=Elixir)
• INSTINCT™ - a warm and cool mint (=Solstice)
• EVOLUTION™ - a sour to sweet citrus pear
• TURBULENCE® – a mouth-watering watermelon flavour
