    Yeah, that's true. I get ads for random local things here all the time.

    Today's are Angie's List (which I have looked up, but guess it's not that), and TurboTax, since it just wants me to feel guilty/stressed about not having done my taxes yet. Thanks, MFP!

    Glad Wrap now. Pfeh. We're still working our way through a warehouse club pack of clingwrap that was first opened by my late mother-in-law. She passed away 3 years ago.

    I'm pretty sure it's not ALL from your browser though. I've been getting a lot of ads in Spanish for some bizarre reason, and all I know in that language are some food words and "Where is the library." I guess if I get into that stereotypical predicament where I need a bathroom in a Spanish-speaking country I'll just hunt down the nearest library and use the bathroom there?

    That's not fair!! How come I don't get ANY food ads?! All these people complaining... right now I have "get a new deck for your home" and "start your fitness specialist training" (both things I've never ever searched for - I don't even own a house) This has got to be some kind of favoritism or something!! :angry:

    I just get ads for sports bras and holidays, which 100% correlates with stuff I Google.

    I hope the 90% estimate is correct. Because I can understand the Brooks shoe ads and the Victoria Secret ads, but for the life of me can't figure out what I've done to deserve the Depends Underwear ads.

    I have an ad for PBR Bull Riding and Rodeo. I haven't surfed for that some I wonder if I called Bull$%& somewhere...

    Mine keeps popping up with cell phone ads, car ads, and antivirus ads. I have not looked up any of those things in months.

    I used to get food ones, probably because I used to look up nutritional info online.

    whats wrong with steak and shake, I mean I think that place is disgusting, but if someone wants to eat there once in a while, what is the big deal? I am sure you can fit one of their meals into your calories/micro/macro target for the day.

    I once got an ad promising "local singles who love to surf."

    I live in Kansas.

    There's not a lot of surfing here.

    My ad this morning was promoting an immigration lawyer and some tacos, I was highly offended. But I dropped salsa on my keyboard and didn't have time to complain.

    Where's the like button when I need it? Bahaha!!!
