1$\begingroup$ Are we looking for one word to combine these things with like in this riddle or for one word that has a connection to these things like in this answer? $\endgroup$– The Raven QueenApr 12, 2017 at 12:37

As in
Mouth-watering
Cottonmouth
Smash Mouth
Smart mouth
Mouthful
Motor mouth
Dirty mouth
And the title: Big mouth (Thanks @Tom for pointing this out)

I think the connecting word might be
Mouth
1)
Mouth Watering: Delicious
2)
Cotton Mouth: a type of snake, or a side-effect
3)
Smash Mouth: (via Hulk SMASH), a popular Band
4)
Smart Mouth: A sassy person
5)
Mouth Glass: A dentist's tool
6)
Motor Mouth: Someone who talks quickly and incessantly
7)
Filthy/Dirty Mouth: Someone who curses

Are you probably talking about...
Minecraft?
Because:
A watering can is an item you can make.
Wrong answer! Wadding (wedding): It has been a news article two Minecraft players got married
Hulk is a skin for your character
Minecraft is known for a lot of cool buildings, e.g. smart cars
Water is a tile block
Generator to generate weapons with
Dirt is a tile block

$\begingroup$ Nope... Not at all. But wow... some strong connections I'd never have expected. +1 $\endgroup$ Apr 12, 2017 at 10:00

2$\begingroup$ Ok. Since the smart car update, I'm starting to wonder how many riddles/rebuses "Minecraft" couldn't be the answer to lol. A quick google search definitely makes it look like you can grow cotton in minecraft too. google.nl/… Minecraft is making my puzzle broad! $\endgroup$ Apr 12, 2017 at 10:10

$\begingroup$ I just thought of Minecraft because of the Water and Dirt ... started to think about what Minecraft is used for (creating cars, big buildings... yesterday I saw a team made Hogwarts?) and all pieces fit perfectly. But you're right about Minecraft being huge. I am just not sure how many people know Minecraft on PSE ;) $\endgroup$ Apr 12, 2017 at 11:10

1$\begingroup$ I'm not knocking the idea. It's actually a good fit! Maybe it's just a coincidence in this puzzle or maybe minecraft has become a very modern puzzle-master-key like Death or Time or God! :P $\endgroup$ Apr 12, 2017 at 11:23

Is it
Baseball
First clue
Second clue
Cotton Ball - Base'ball' player Jharel 'Cotton'
Third Clue
Hulk smash - Baseball smash
Fourth Clue
Smart car - Smart baseball
Fifth Clue
Sixth Clue
Electric Motor - Motor City Baseball Club
Seventh Clue
Dirt - Baseball dirt
-
1$\begingroup$ It's not. I'm from the UK... I still think of baseball as rounders played by men. Other than that, I know nothing about it. I'll bet those are probably decent fits though... +1 $\endgroup$ Apr 12, 2017 at 10:25

I only have a few, but it might be this:
Candy
How they fit the ones I have:
Cotton candy (Cotton balls)
Smarties (Smart car)
Turns out wrong though. Another answer which fits a couple is
Snake - cottonmouth and mudsnake, but the rest don't fit.

$\begingroup$ @BrentHackers damn. Thats the only thing I can relate cotton to :P $\endgroup$ Apr 12, 2017 at 10:14

$\begingroup$ I'm ssorry I made this a bit more tricky than usual. $\endgroup$ Apr 12, 2017 at 10:15

$\begingroup$ @BrentHackers The only other 'cotton' relation I can think of is the cottonmouth snake, but snake doesn't fit anything else, except 'mudsnake' $\endgroup$ Apr 12, 2017 at 10:20

$\begingroup$ Are you fishing for hints? For shame. You've solved far trickier than this. I tested it on my slowest office buddy and he got it eventually. :) $\endgroup$ Apr 12, 2017 at 10:24

[2nd not likely guess]
Are you
Joe?
Because:
Joe Morzuch created the painting about a watering can
Cotton, Cotton Eye Joe
Joe Fixit is an alias for The Hulk
Joe is a smart shop
Water Joe
Slobberbone - Engine Joe
And last but not least, you are a movie

Im guessing
Clean
Because
It just seams like every picture represents something clean or natural except the hands that needs to be cleaned. The hulk I assume could be radiation from nuclear stuff that is considered clean energy. And the motor I assume is an electrical motor.
-
$\begingroup$ This could be a good answer if you can answer how the things relate to cleaning. $\endgroup$ Apr 12, 2017 at 11:34

$\begingroup$ I dont mean cleaning. I mean like watering is clean nutrition(?), Sugar Im not too sure about but it's natural, Hulk = nuclear = clean energy, smart cars run on clean energy, water is just considered clean in general, electrical motor is clean energy, hands should be cleaned $\endgroup$ Apr 12, 2017 at 11:37
