Living in northern Minnesota, drinking fountain and water fountain get used interchangeably. And I’ve only known one person that used bubbler regularly. But they weren’t in their right mind most of the time.
And ain’t nothing IDs a Minnesotan faster than hot dish vs casserole or even worse, Duck Duck Grey Duck vs Duck Duck Grey Goose. We WILL go to war over that stuff.
There is no debate. It’s Grey Duck and Grey Duck only! ;):) And why would anyone drink vodka? A bottle of water has more flavor and will dilute your orange juice cheaper and just a well.
Bottled water is very often distilled and then has minerals added back into it to make it taste like something. And they ain’t spending money on adding back any more minerals than they need to. Even highly processed water as provided from your tap has a distinct taste from one different water system to the next.
If you want a liquor with real flavor, choose a bourbon, Scotch, rum, brandy, or nearly anything else besides vodka.
I didn’t claim water has no flavor. I just said vodka has a stronger flavor.
And yes, other liquors are even more flavored, but perhaps what I want in my orange juice is something that tastes like ethanol. Ethanol does have a flavor, after all.
Where I’m from in the US it was always duck duck goose, a kid moved to our school and said grey duck once. Poor kid didn’t hear the end of it until middle school
Yeah, I grew up in Wisconsin closer to the Minnesota border, so I used both as well. When I moved to Eastern Wisconsin, I solidified on “drinking fountain” because people here call it a “bubbler” and tease you more about “water fountain.”
Oh yeah, and I remember getting blank stares in college when mentioning that we had a lot of hot dish growing up. I didn’t realize how regional that phrase was.
Hotdish is a term that will instantly mark you as a Minnesotan. And tater tot hotdish is our state food and religion. Everyone makes and eats it. Sadly, lutefisk and potato klub are fading away as more of us old timers die off. But lefse is still hanging on though.

You mean Duck Duck Goose.
Ahhhhh no, Duck Duck Grey Duck!
Hot dish and bars motherfucker.
So it HAS to be grey, but it’s debatable whether or not it’s vodka? Americans are weird sometimes 🤔

A bottle of water absolutely does not have more flavor. I’d pay good money for something non-alcoholic that tastes the way vodka does.

Getting drunk is the traditional motivation
Fixed it for you.
True.
Arguably untrue, depending on your goals.

Funny enough, there’s a brand of vodka made in Minnesota called Grey Duck.
