A guy on my flight two rows up was wearing a backwards hat that said Gopuff on it. Caught my attention because of the color but I'd never heard of it before.
Just checking my emails and third one from the top is from Gopuff.
WTF!!!
Is this some kind of viral guerilla marketing technique I'm not aware of? Are they putting chips in hats that latch on to devices that are in close proximity? Just a coincidence?
IDK, but I did momentarily consider changing my user name before replying...
Facebook has perfected retinal ad insertion.
More likely it is a plate of shrimp scenario. You only noticed it because you were aware of it.
OMG CHIPS IN HATS

I have tested your theory and it was disproved. I walked in to my kitchen and there was no shrimp.
Perhaps I misunderstood the directions. But either way, I'm disappointed. And still hungry.
It's the microchips in the vaccines. Duh!
Go puff. One vc round of funding away from going bankrupt or selling out to a pi firm.

So that's a thing you've heard of? I didn't even look at the email. Just ran to the store to buy some tin foil and curled up under my blanket.
In reply to Nick Comstock :
Oooh, bad idea. There are RFID chips in the tinfoil to identify you. They put it there because they know you won't put it in the microwave to nuke the RFID chip like you can with your license plates or your smartphones.
It's called proximity marketing. Dude has searched for that thing and then everyone that spends a certain time in his GPS location proximity gets ads for what he sees. On the other hand, he now gets ads for GRM and cheap Miatas.

ooooooh. I'm going to get a burner phone and do nothing but search for unmentionable items from places that cater to the furry community, then go walk around in public with GPS tracking enabled.

I think you misspelled 'rectal'.

The "new" $100 bills that rolled out around 2012-13 will pop in a microwave. Specifically a small part of the security strip.

That's probably what happens to people when their phones are around mine. Sorry for all the sex stuff ads and furry content you probably got after you were here twice this week.
In reply to Patrick :
Sex and furry content in the same ads leads down a scary road

I put myself in the microwave, so I should be ok, right?

So thats why the break room smells like like burnt popcorn.
The camera is in the front of the hat, because he was wearing it backwards, it targeted you. They track eye movement to see who read the hat, then pick up your metaverse markers electronically and set a cookie for you. Pretty standard marketing stuff really, you should see what we are doing with food packaging these days.

Yes, but - that's the sort of conversation I actually have with my sister and my coworkers when they read about some marketing technique. The capabilities of the advertising world are a little spooky.
