    Is this one of those American things, or am I just ignorant?

    I’ve never changed, or heard about changing a water filter in the fridge 🤔😵‍💫 sounds like I’m living a unclean life…

      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?

        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

      Some fridges have a water/ice dispenser built into the door. Not all American fridges have it and it’s available in other markets too.

      US people have a fetish about ice cold drinks that’s not very common outside of their country.

      Like “the brits drink warm beer (6° instead of -2°), what kind of prehistoric shit is that⸘”
