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

Do people ever install these in their house? That might be cool actually lol
I don't know if there's a name for it, but I'm always fascinated to see people bring "public" stuff into their houses. Like a guy who turns his basement into an old diner, or maybe a mini-arcade with vending machines, etc. I saw one video where the person made their game room bathroom look like a public bathroom with stalls/urinals, multiple sinks, etc. It's eccentric and weird, but creative.
A water fountain would be cool too.
(Edit: how could I forget, AVGN building a mini video rental shop in his basement!)

These things and kitchen sink blenders are the two most mysterious things for an European child watching US-Shows.
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 significant above 30°C even in summer (and if max 2 months) and our water in my city is of such "high quality" they bottle and sell it. (Aqua di Monaco).

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.
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.
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.
They are not as common as TV makes it seem, at least not where I'm at in the north east.

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.
Hell yeah - you'd smash that bar & hear a industrial condenser turn on to supply you with artic cold water.
I actually hate the EZH2O. When you go to drink it activates the bottle stream in the back and reduces the water pressure so you have to go down further to drink. Well when you do that the bottle stream turns off and the water pressure goes back to normal and you get blasted in the face full force. Reminds me of my college days.

Getting blasted in the face full force?
The second one reminds me of elementary school because we had exactly that model.
I think we had the third, but I pretty distinctly remember there being a large metal "kachunk" bar like the ones they put on swinging fire doors. Maybe it wasn't this brand.
The C in the first model name stands for "Colored"
Do you have a source for this? I can't find anything confirming it.
edit: I found a spec sheet with a lot of details: https://www.elkayfiles.com/spec-sheets/spec12-59_vrchd(tl)(d-8).pdf
However, my phone, mobile browser and perhaps old eyes are not adequate to read the instances of "19" and "date" in the PDF to determine whether they agree with your claim. I'm very curious.
So where do the white people drink from?
The first 3 pictures are the same
Ah, you've never used the LMABF8
LMABF8 spits straight ice water. Can't be beat.
