I’m getting ads for MBA’s and skiing holidays I barely know what an MBA is and have never skied and am not planning any sort of holiday so no idea?
Is that what gardening folk call pricking out seedlings or maybe seeding out pricks I’m confused.

I've got ads for waitrose bags. I did have one for bras with lots of straps earlier, mind!

@SheldonesqueTheLazyEyedBstard

I’m sure not…

I’ve got adverts for baby wipes. And video slot gaming.

I don’t do gambling or baby wiping.

Likewise. And Paw Patrol Crusiers.

Having no children and never gambled... maybe I’m just too boring so they send me generic adverts?

OnceUponAMidnightBeery · 17/09/2021 00:11

And James Blunt adverts... I’ve never even listened to his songs on YouTube 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thelikelylass · 17/09/2021 00:12

You must have googled Grayson Perry.

I’ve got ads for tool hire… Confused Blush

Eileen101 · 17/09/2021 05:44

Tools over here too, despite having no browse history of tools. Interestingly, the site is called banggood.com Grin
Browsing whilst up with poorly child in the night was Lidl baby wipes, which although I have children, won't be in my browsing history as we use cloth wipes 🤷
Sometimes I do get targeted ads, like stuff I've just looked at on books2door for example.
Would be interested in knowing how it works.

I always seem to get ads for the ugliest shoes you’ve ever seen in your life.

@CraftMaker

I always seem to get ads for the ugliest shoes you’ve ever seen in your life.
Me too!

I really hope Google doesn’t think that’s my taste as I’m always mildly offended by how ugly they are.

Bloody breast feeding biscuits!

What the fuck is a breast-feeding biscuit, do they think we fell off a Christmas tree?

( At least they’re not chest- feeding biscuits, I suppose!)

CovidCorvid · 17/09/2021 06:56

I’m getting ads for Arket and sofas which sounds right.

CherieBabySpliffUp · 17/09/2021 07:01

This thread has given me ads for Valentino. There is absolutely no way my browsing history would prompt these as a suggestion Hmm

SoloISland · 17/09/2021 07:03

I never thought ads were … Just checked and here? extante meal replacement. In duplicate. Although as I had no idea what they were I did check them out..

Amrapaali · 17/09/2021 07:05

Yeah I don't think they are always based on browsing history. Mine is for Sotheby's diamonds Confused

A seriously wasted ad if ever there was one

What the bloody hell, MN?

I’ve got Visit Lidl Camden Town. I live on the other side of the country.

Bluesheep8 · 17/09/2021 07:09

Is it a penis beaker?

ApplesAreTheBaneOfMyLife · 17/09/2021 07:11

Lidl nappies - those days are long gone
Cloud billing - no idea what that is but pretty sure I don’t need it
