[Red Iron Crown]

May not be the military definitions of those words. Gas tanks, caulking gun, etc. Though the "win the war" part would imply it.

Good riddle cantab, we're all stumped.

Edit: For a new page:

In the ocean or a lake,

Protests and questions are all I'll make,

But in a tank or from a gun,

The war I'll ensure will be won.

In far-flung countries I am grown,

Shipped round the world for you to own.

Edit: For a new page:

Oooohhhhhh. So, redefine the riddle's "war". It's not military.

Propane/Natural Gas? Gasoline?

[cantab]

Still no luck anyone

[Red Iron Crown]

Rivets?

GraspingAtStraws

[briansun1]

Heavy metals?

[Souper]

Whales?

/

[Xorth Tanovar]

Oil

......

[cantab]

I *think* oil was guessed already.

Not rivets, heavy metals, or whales either.

[Starwhip]

Grr. This is hard.

Wait!

OOOOH Pesticides!!! Is that it?

[Souper]

Starwhip, you are my only hope.

[Red Iron Crown]

Are pesticides grown to be shipped to us to own? That was a great guess, it met all the criteria before the last two lines were added.

[Starwhip]

Again, "grown" wouldn't have to specifically mean a plant/living thing. It could translate as "built"/"manufactured". It is a riddle, after all.

I really hope this is it.

[Souper]

Things it comes close to:

Shells

Radioactive waste / depleted uranium

Lead

Things it might be (related to):

Environmental concerns

Living organisms

Plant life related things

Things it isn't:

Anything specifically military

My guesses:

Pets

Plants

Fish

Eggs

Nails

Resources in general?

Water?

[cantab]

None of the above.

Though some may be technically correct, just insufficiently specific.

[Red Iron Crown]

Though some may be technically correct, just insufficiently specific.

You toy with us, sir.

[Starwhip]

None of the above.

Though some may be technically correct, just insufficiently specific.

Oh heck no. Not this kind of riddle.

Screw it, I'm going to go eat now.

[Souper]

None of the above.

Though some may be technically correct, just insufficiently specific.

HAH! My plan worked!

Now we know what to guess!

[cantab]

Inasmuch as if I gave a riddle for "apple", I wouldn't take "food" or "fruit" as valid solutions.

Anyway, riddle and clue reminder and new clue:

In the ocean or a lake,

Protests and questions are all I'll make,

But in a tank or from a gun,

The war I'll ensure will be won.

In far-flung countries I am grown,

Shipped round the world for you to own.

Clue 1: It's not anything specifically military.

Clue 2: It's a beverage.

Since that narrows it down a lot, keep the number of guesses per post sensible please, don't just list every beverage you can think of in one go!

Is it vodka?

[Red Iron Crown]

Is it beer?

Somehow knowing it's a beverage has not illuminated me at all.

[briansun1]

Oh heck no. Not this kind of riddle.

You mean the one I came up with .

...

Is it water?

[vexx32]

Hm. Alcohol/methylated spirits?

[Souper]

Yeast?

Coffee?

[vexx32]

Tea? Coke (soda)?
