The eclipse caused sensation in Spain where nearly one million people gathered across the country to watch the phenomenon. The last eclipse was 240 years ago.
The new gum’s flavour “is so intense it can provoke a real eclipse in you, boosting your confidence when you most need it”, a caption told readers.
