    This is a bubbler (a bubbler-brand bubbler, too!):

    iirc from the last time this came up, they were super popular in the “bubbler”-using regions so the name stuck around to describe all drinking fountains, not just bubblers.

      Thank you! Bubblers were created and patented in Wisconsin, too, so I’m glad we are keeping the name alive.
