Soooooo freaky!

I know we all have stories about how we have looked at an item or discussed a vacation with someone and it later shows up in our facebook feed.
Well, this beats all.....
Years ago, we cloth diapered, and I had a sample of Rockin a green detergent. Three days ago, I found it and decided to use it to wash some stinky laundry to see if it would help. I told no one.

Guess what sponsored post just showed up on my feed?
Fb is invading my brain.

From the studdies I have read about this, some of it is the way your brain works. That you are more likely to register and rember the add when you just interacted with the product or were talking about it.

Also, nowadays it happens mainly when a kid has activated the microphone permission on one of my apps and then I go in and lock down those permissions again and the problem goes away.
