Tempest is also known as "Prism" in North America, "Turbulence" in Europe and South Africa. "Tempest" is used in Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Hmmm... I think the watermelon-flavoured gum is called "Prism" in North America because it may refer to a transparent object which refracts light or the volume of water in an area between the high and low tide (tidal prism), "Turbulence" is a flow regime characterised by chaotic property changes, and "Tempest" refers to a violent storm.
