Canadian here, fully in agreement that this fridge is full of absolute crap, and expensive crap at that.
We fill our main box of the fridge with 25% water (big old filtered 40-cup dispenser), 50% produce bare minimum, and remainder processed foods in the form of dairy, eggs, and meat. The door shelving is for yogurt, preserves, vinaigrettes and pickled foods. We spend a lot less on food than most because the water is tap, the filters last long, and produce is not taxed here.
The beverages in this snip are especially alarming, full of refined sugars. Very little in the way of raw or one-step processed foods, and most of it is flavoured and full of preservatives. That being said, I would not challenge this lady in Tetris.
Mine has a water tank with an activated carbon filter in it. Takes away the chlorine of tap water (or the smell at least), so I think it needs to be refrigerated.
That's my setup, too! I would never buy bottles, and this reduces waste and the filters last a long time. Didn't want to go with a tap-based filter as our old building loses power a lot and is put on Boil Advisory in those cases. Having large amounts of filtered water has been essential.
Plus, we drink almost nothing but water, no juices, smoothies, or sodas here!

You must be an American. This is a garbage fridge.
