I can explain why Wisconsinites call it a "bubbler." Bubbler is a brand name for a type of drinking fountain manufactured by the Kohler Company headquartered in... Kohler, WI.

Apparently I'm just weird

That reminds me of people who pronounce "wash" as "warsh." I don't do it, personally, but I know several people who do.

Interesting. People all over New England say it, and I've said it my whole life - I never knew there was an actual Bubbler brand name!
