Unfortunately, Trident isn't really a trace back to Poseidon at all. Trident was named Trident because of the three key enzymes within the formula that help break down dental tartar. Tri being three and dentes meaning teeth, has actually nothing really to do with the gum at all. But was probably named in the thought of "Look! Three dental enzymes! Huzzah! Let's name it that."

The only relation it has to Poseidon is the name. Nothin' more.

What is the modern allusion of Poseidon?

Trident gum represents his trident because that was his weapon The gum is not the best modern allusion I can think of. There are two much more appropriate ones. There was a passenger airliner with a tail that was large and raised and looked a bit like his trident. That was called the trident aircraft. Not the best allusion, but a bit better than chewing gum, because i doubt if Poseidon would have enjoyed chewing - He was too intent on venting his considerable anger. The best one I can think of is Britain's Trident submarine: A fearsome underwater monster with the capability of delivering nuclear warheads over great distances.
