Trident Gum- Neptune had a trident..a sort of pitch fork, but it had powers to do a lot of things.
the Titanic- the titans
Nike shoes- refers to the goddess of Victory...not really sure about the others. I have read some things about Atlas and and someone else in mythology with the name ajax, but I can't tell you what it was since it has been such a long time. sorry, but i hope what I gave you will help you a bit.

-Trident Gum....Poseidon's trident?
-Dove soap/chocolate.....Paxus' Peace?
-Ajax Cleanser....ajax the great warrior?
-The Titanic....more of a reference to it's size, but the titans of greek mythos were to be a terrific size, therefore if a titan was a giant then anything giant was reckoned to a titan.
-Gatorade.....Zeus' lighting bolt, it gives you energy
-Cereal...Ceres, or any grain deity as well
-An Atlas...Atlas, the titanic sized titan who held up the world as punishment for attempting to rebel against Zeus
-Panasonic...pan? I am a little lost for this, as I though Pan meant in motion or circle in latin
-Nike Shoes .....Nike, another titanous titan, responsible for forthought and clever planning

Yes, I am certain that there are people who believe in the greek/roman mythological gods. No doubt some of the believers are greeks. Do a little checking on the internet. Believing in the pantheon you are talking about is small potatoes compared to what some folks on the net believe. There are freaking Cthulu believers out there!

Panasonic has nothing to do with pan.
It means "wide" and "sound".
