Water

As most historians recognize, water was discovered by happy coincidence in the middle of the 14th century. Despite Water's success and domination of the fluid universe for nearly 600 years a war of attrition began at the beginning of the 20th century between Water (as yet, unchallenged force) and Coca Cola. This war raged silently in the underground world of organized fluid for almost 40 years. Naturally, Water's allies (mainly fruit concentrate) joined forces to face the growing army of Coca Cola and it's allies (Lilt and Dr. Pepper most faithful to the cause) in a final war. Eventually bubbling to the surface a period of detente followed culminating in a face off in Cuba. Of course, the rest is history and Water reigns supreme (though not without the confusing half-breeds between Coca Cola and Water (a product of the defiant,free love, 60s) called 'sparkling water') but is it significant that murmurs have been heard among Fruit Juice ranks of an alliance formed with Hot Drinks? Let's hope that such atrocities will never be revisited in our lifetimes.
