What emblem/symbol/image best exemplifies the message/argument/point of the film "just add water"? What's its small object?

I really have no idea...maybe I'm just having a creative block. Who knows. Maybe water would best exemplify the message...but that's kind of boringly obvious, since the title has the word "water" in it. Although, water, especially in the form of rain, really does exemplify the meaning of the film. After all, the town WAS revitalized once it finally rained there again. Before the rain, Trona was a dry, barren, poisonous, infertile desert. No plant life could grow there, and the only people who lived there had a pretty pathetic existence. Dirk ran the town and polluted it even more than it already was, both literally with physical pollution and figuratively with his bad attitude. The rain gave Trona a new start. Dirk and his gang were arrested, and the town attracted visitors again with a new restaurant that Ray opened. Trona was becoming fertile again with the help of the new lake that formed, which probably also helped bring in tourists. The rain really did give everything a fresh start, so I guess that, all in all, it is a decent image that exemplifies the message of "just add water."
