There's a hierarchy

LMABF8 had the coldest water. I'm all for the EZH20 because I carry a bottle around with me and it's less likely to spread germs and causes less waste, but I feel like the water coming out of them is barely chilled. I like my water to be so cold it is borderline painful when I am drinking it.
Nothing hit as hard as coming out of gym class in high school and getting some fresh gulps of ice cold water from the LMABF8. Peak refreshment.

Oh, yeah we do. I love ice water even while shoveling snow.

Your school's infrastructure was apparently even shittier than mine. In any case, he was a skinny little high schooler - that thing could have been screwed into drywall and still supported his weight.
...and if you don't think a water fountain spout could fit up someone's ass, I've got some foreign object removal stories from working in the OR that... well, you probably also wouldn't believe, but you'd be amazed what an anal sphincter can accommodate.

Do you have a source for this? I can't find anything confirming it.

The concept of cleaning things also saves a ton of money compared to throwing things away.

These things and kitchen sink blenders are the two most mysterious things for an European child watching US-Shows.

Hell yeah - you'd smash that bar & hear a industrial condenser turn on to supply you with artic cold water.
-
I at least understand the water fountains and experienced them a few times here and there but the sink blender waiting to chop your fingers is a total mystery.

Garbage disposal? They have limited utility, but save you from having to transfer food scraps from the sink to the trash or compost.
The built in ice/water dispenser in the refrigerator is the one that mystifies me. -

Garbage disposals are a thing I can't understand for the life of me. Like yes the food scraps are disgusting but you pull out the metal filter not scrape the food from the sink. And it isn't free correct me of I am wrong but it costs about 50 dollars.

For new construction, sure. There are lots of old units out there from before EZH2O was available and they just don't die quickly. There not cheap to replace if it's nonessential maintenance.
-
They are not as common as TV makes it seem, at least not where I'm at in the north east.

My first UK flat - renovated in the 1980s - had a waste disposal installed. Eventually it clogged, and the plumber who came to fix it said he loved these things because they made him a lot of money. He himself would never have one. It had clogged from the dirt from potato peelings, apparently a very common issue.

Do you like live in a version of Pawnee located in Texas?

Water fountains are a U.S. thing? Never knew that. Is just filling bottles at sinks more common in other countries? Do people not drink on the go as much?
-
Unchilled Tab-Water and filling bottles in the bathroom. Some drinking fountains are publicly available but more of a novelty and none usually not inside of buildings.
I don't know about others, but getting hydrated isn't an issue here. It's rarely above 30°C even in summer and our water in my city is of such "high quality" they bottle and sell it. (Aqua di Monaco).

Honestly — how is this not just simple stealth product placement?
