It really is weird. I guess from other comments that this is something about those fancy and expensive fridges that no normal people have with water dispenser on the door and ice sometimes... Maybe?

[-] Retrograde@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

At least 50% of American fridges do indeed have ice and filtered water dispensers built in and I think they're great :) ice cold, delicious water any time of the day? Yes please.

They're not even that "fancy/expensive" as it's fairly standard

if i want cold water, i just let the tap water run for a bit and drink that. granted, its not ice cold, but do you really need it to be freezingly cold?

[-] Retrograde@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Honestly, yes. Frigid water is extremely tasty

The water in my sink only gets lukewarm at the coldest.

It gets pretty much ice cold where I live. It's nice

[-] PancakeBrock@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

The last time I got a fridge I bought the cheapest one it could find. It dispensed water but did not have an ice maker.

I just turn the tap to cold for that

I do like that my countries tap water is perfectly drinkable/inflammable. I have no need for such fridges.

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Just fyi inflammable means flammable .

Inflammable is something that can be inflamed

[-] shikitohno@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

But in case anyone was at risk of thinking they understood the logic of the English language, flammable also means inflammable, so good luck.

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Most of North America, the tap water is perfectly drinkable; but it can still be improved with extra filtration.

These also provide water colder than a tap can.

To be clear, very much a luxury item, not a necessity in any way. They've just become quite common over here.

The filters are also particulate filters; they won't do much if your water is actually considered unhealthy due to bacterial contamination/you're on a boil water notice.
