[[Eclipse (breath freshener)|Eclipse]] is the [[United States|American]] version of Excel. For many years, Excel used the slogan "Excel-erate your breath", which has recently been replaced by "Eat, drink, chew, Excel". The advertisements are using food creatures since 2010, the same characters that [[Extra (gum)|Extra]] gum is using. ==Excel Extreme== In January 2006, a sub-brand named "Excel Extreme", with flavors ''Fuse'', ''Voltage'', ''Charge'' and ''Shock'', was released, replacing the Excel cherry and lemon flavours. A year later, an American version called [[5 (gum)|Wrigley's 5]] was created, but the gum was sold in sticks instead of pellets. The Excel Extreme brand was replaced by Wrigley's [[5 (gum)|5]] in 2008. ==Excel White== In June 2008, Wrigley replaced [[Freedent|Freedent Total]] with Excel White. It is currently available in three flavours : Spearmint, Bubblemint and Winterfresh. ==Excel Mist== A Canadian version of [[Orbit (gum)|Orbit Mist]] introduced in 2010. ==Flavours== Here is a list of the flavours: Excel Gum: * Spearmint * Peppermint * Polar Ice * Winterfresh * Chlorophyll * Cinnamon (previously Inferno Cinnamon) * Lemon Freeze (discontinued) * Cherry Chill (discontinued) * Tangerine Freeze (discontinued) * Night Chill (discontinued) * Sweet Mint * Citrus Mint * Strong Mint Excel Mints: * Peppermint * Spearmint * Winterfresh * Cinnamon (discontinued) * Mixed Berry * Fresh Mint Excel Extreme Gum (discontinued): * Fuse * Voltage * Charge * Shock Excel Cool Blast Mints (discontinued): * Peppermint Excel White Gum: * Bubblemint * Spearmint * Winterfresh Excel Fuse Gum (discontinued): * Berry Mint * Melon Mint Excel Mist Gum (discontinued): * Peppermint * Spearmint * Cool Mango Excel Naturally Sweetened Gum: * Spearmint * Peppermint Excel Soft Chew Gum: * Spearmint * Peppermint Excel Chewy Mints: * Peppermint * Lemon & Lime ==Promotion== During the duration of the Winter Olympics of 2010, each piece of gum had a small edible maple leaf printed on to support the Canadian Olympic Team.
