    It also has to do with the types of sites you visit, and the content of those sites. These forums have a lot of words about food, so it's inevitable that food ads will show up sometimes. I haven't had McDonalds ones, but right now I have one for a healthy eating programme, and one for exercise machines, neither of which I've searched for.

    I have ads for plus sized women's clothing.

    Explain THAT one? At what point did I search for plus sized women's clothing? (Hint: I didn't). I've never even looked up plus sized clothing. Or women's clothing. Yet there on the side is an ad for "Zulily's" advertising clothes for big women.

    I'll see your plus-sized clothing and raise you Asian mail-order brides.

    That will change fast. As you search things like healthy eating, fitness DVD's, Nike fuel etc. Then you will see nothing but the items you have searched recently. Just don't search Depends........LOL

    I have thumb drives on mine right now. My husband must have used my iPad last. LOL

    I have vega one protein ad, perhaps because I just had one and added it to my food for the day

    I have the same. Maybe because I was googling protein shakes a lot searching for a new one lol

    The ads come from your search history and not from MFP. So if you goggled mcdonalds or even calories in fast food it might cause the ad to come up. Right now personally, I have an ad for replica star trek uniforms.

    yep this....anytime I search something, ads pop up for the sites on here ...lol

    I don't have any ads. On any site. Ever. It's all locked down and blocked and nothing gets in. I haven't seen an internet ad in about 10 years.

    Get adblock if it bothers you. I seriously don't know how people can survive without it.

    Hmmm I have wiltshire farm foods, which do meals on wheels for people confined to their home. Weird. Certainly doesn't apply to me!

    That's a great offer at mcD's though :)

    Me too!

    I get ads for cruises and vacations aimed at gay men. Also, there are apparently some Russian woman who are VERY interested in meeting me. Me being a straight, married woman. And Domino's pizza ads in Spanish (that I don't speak).

    I have adblocker, so I don't have ANY ads.

    If I did, they'd be for something really boring.
