The Yooks wear blue clothes; the Zooks wear orange. The primary dispute between the two cultures is that the Yooks eat their bread with the butter-side up, while the Zooks eat their bread with the <a href="/wiki/Buttered_toast_phenomenon" title="Buttered toast phenomenon">butter-side down</a>. The conflict between the two sides leads to an escalating arms race, which results in the threat of mutual assured destruction. </p><p>The race begins when a Zook patrolman named Van Itch slingshots the Yook patrolman's "Tough-Tufted Prickly Snick-Berry Switch" (a many-pronged whip). The Yooks then develop a machine with three <a href="/wiki/Slingshot" title="Slingshot">slingshots</a> interlinked, called a "Triple-Sling Jigger". This works once; but the Zooks counterattack with their own creation: The "Jigger-Rock Snatchem", a machine with three nets to fling the rocks fired by the Triple-Sling Jigger back to the Yooks' side. </p><p>The Yooks then create a gun called the "Kick-A-Poo Kid", loaded with "powerful Poo-A-Doo powder and <a href="/wiki/Ant" title="Ant">ants</a>' eggs and <a href="/wiki/Bee" title="Bee">bees</a>' legs and dried-fried <a href="/wiki/Clam_chowder" title="Clam chowder">clam chowder</a>", and carried by a <a href="/wiki/Spaniel" title="Spaniel">spaniel</a> named Daniel. The Zooks counterattack with an "Eight-Nozzled Elephant-Toted Boom Blitz", a machine that shoots "high-explosive sour cherry stone pits". The Yooks then devise the "Utterly Sputter": a large blue vehicle intended "to sprinkle blue goo all over the Zooks". The Zooks counterattack with a Sputter identical to the Yooks'. Eventually, each side possesses a small but extremely destructive red <a href="/wiki/Bomb" title="Bomb">bomb</a> called the "Bitsy Big-Boy Boomeroo", and neither has any defense against it. </p><p>No resolution is reached by the book's end, with the generals of both sides on the wall poised to drop their bombs and <a href="/wiki/Mexican_standoff" title="Mexican standoff">waiting for the other to strike</a>. The Yook patrolman's grandson (who had followed his grandfather to the wall) asks, "Who's gonna drop it? Will you, or will he?" To which he replies, "Be patient. We'll see. We will see..." </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Television_media">Television media</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Butter_Battle_Book&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Television media"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Television_special">Television special</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Butter_Battle_Book&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Television special"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>There was an <a href="/wiki/Animation" title="Animation">animated</a> <a href="/wiki/Television_special" title="Television special">TV special</a> by animator and filmmaker <a href="/wiki/Ralph_Bakshi" title="Ralph Bakshi">Ralph Bakshi</a>, narrated by <a href="/wiki/Charles_Durning" title="Charles Durning">Charles Durning</a> and produced by and aired on <a href="/wiki/TNT_(U.S._TV_network)" class="mw-redirect" title="TNT (U.S. TV network)">TNT</a> on November 13, 1989.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The special followed the book quite closely, notably in its preservation of its original cliffhanger ending, with the addition of a title card that reads, "To Be Continued..." at the conclusion of the story.
