    I think it’s probably because people in North America generally really like cold water. Virtually every restaraunt will serve all their drinks with ice cubes. I personally find ice-cold water be rather unpleasant, maybe except when it’s 30°C outside. These water fountains will refrigerate the water before it’s despensed and they have a solenoid to control the water flow, meaning it takes very little force to activate.

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