I have NO idea why I call it this, but I'm at least it was common where I grew up.  I still get crap if I slip up and say it now.

However, I also say roof like a barking dog, so I get made fun of my accent as well.

I'm here!! Bubbler is a Massachusetts thing primarily, although some other New England states say it as well.

 Of course around here it's a bubblah, we don't do Rs.

Definitely a bubbler!  LOL.  I'm a lurker, but had to chime in on this one.  And TPOX is right, it is correctly pronounced bubblah.  heehee!

It's bubbler in WI too.

Funny story about that actually.  I moved to WI from NOVA when I was in first grade.  First day in my new school and I remember the teacher asking me if I had to go to the bubbler and I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about.  That and asking me if I wanted a sucker.  A what?

Still to this day I call them water fountains and lollipops.
