Dominoes Pizza Ad on this Site!!

Love the dominoes tracker... Braden just left with your pizza! Braden, we love you man!

Honestly , the tracker rocks. we live just down the road so when it says Braden just left with your pizza, we go to the door and open it. BEST THING EVER.

Try using Firefox browser and an extension called "self-destructing cookies". Works wonders.

Mmmm...cookies...

I keep getting ads for this organic farmer's market I looked up ads for the other day. Damn MFP forcing their clean eating nonsense on me.

Ads are related your cache, and not controlled by MFP. For example, was looking up information on banks and right now have a USAA ad starring me in the face.

That said.....there is nothing wrong with Dominoes pizza, one slice of pepperoni pizza is only like 250 calories. Paired with a nice salad and some fruit for dessert turns into something even a person on a 1200 diet can do.

I didn't realize the ad gig until just a few months ago (different site than here though). I was like, "Omfg, how do they know I write Pysanky?!" I had to scour the house for a camera to make sure "they" weren't watching. :laugh:

OMGOSH! Let's hope there's never an ad for spoons!

Because spooning leads to forking?

But The Tick would be very disappointed if there weren't spoon ads!

:laugh: I can imagine that must have been quite spooky lol

What I really don't get about targeted ads (back from the days before I had ad blocker), is why is it that they kept on putting up ads for religion, creation v evolution debate, philosophy and "the meaning of life" type websites and books, just because I browsed sites for human evolution and palaeoanthropology.... because, ya know.... some of us are just interested in the *science* and purely the science, of human evolution... it's annoying. I wish they'd just directed me to sites about archaeological digs or new discoveries or something else directly related to the actual science.... but no. They assume I'm confused and trying to figure out how I came into existence...

Yeah, it is based on your cache, well mostly. Because I do keep getting ads for some hospital in another state (makes no sense because this site is the closest I come to medical information online). But I get White Castle ads all the time (looked it up for the BF), Houlihan's - lots and lots of food related sites (because I am always looking up nutrition information for restaurants before we go to them). So for the most part they make sense. I am actually more disturbed by the Xfinity ads since we just got rid of Xfinity because of how awful they were for us.

If an advertisement prompts you to want pizza or anything for that matter, you have some more work to do. Food is all around us - every where - the mall, movies, skating rinks, arcades, beaches, magazines, well you get the point.

Work on controlling the need to overeat. That's the issue, not addiction. It took me 2 years. But I have lost a lot of weight by learning moderation. It can be done. It's not some illusive thing that is not in your cards. I was a binger and could eat a ton of cookies, cakes, etc. That all changed when I decided that no matter how long it took, I was going to retrain my brain to be stronger.

You can do it too. Once you have that under control - the sky is the limit.

ETA: I was able to learn to eat one or two pieces of pizza when we had it. I also have one serving of ice cream most days. I watch my calories and meet my macros. It can be done.

Ads are based on your browsing history so maybe stop looking up fast food online?

Quite a while back a guy was complaining about all the porn ads on this site!:laugh:

In fairness, it does not just work not just on specific browsing history about on location and demographic information. So the OP is right that fast food specifically may not have been the trigger. But MFP does not choose the ads, that's not how ad exchanges work. I am right now seeing an ad for a local Chevy dealer. I am not in the market for a car or truck and have not been searching for one.
