As long as I have been on here I have never noticed this. Why in the world does OH have ads for Pillsbury brownies, cupecakes, etc? (granted...I know they get advertising money or lower fees, but still!!)

OH does not. Those are through your browser.

I've seen Levi's ads, Disney movie / TV show ads, and I also think I've seen some that were food related - not all entirely "appropriate" foods either. If they were through my browser wouldn't I see them in other places (webpages) too?

That is automatically generated.. You did some searches in the pats and the computer remembers that... uts cookies... then brings corresponding adds...
The questions then: what were you looking for before? recipe for baking goods?

Is that why I always see ads for Victoria's Secret?

Yup the google ads take everything on any page you open, and generates ads based on what they think you might be interested in. If you were looking for recipes for good WLS friendly baked goods, Google doesn't know you want WLS friendly, and gives you ads for those.

I've recently had orthopedic surgery....all my ads are for chiropractors and orthopedic surgeons.

I guess that makes sense! I am always looking for new recipes for get togethers, etc. I love to cook! Granted, I may not be able to eat much of what I cook but I still love to do it. It is so relaxing.

Just thought it was kind of funny! I got a kick out of it when I saw an ad for the Pillsbury Brownie Sensation thingies.

I started paying attention to those Google Ads at the top of this page and a Dominos add with boneless chicken just came up. I guess OH has to make money somehow but they can pick and choose what ads display up there and say no to fast food. Its just not right.
