My wife and I conduct experiments. The first was shouting “dog food” multiple times in earshot to our google home and phones. Sure enough a chewse.com pamphlet came in the mail a few days later with a discount for the website. We’ve mentioned some pretty eclectic things and found ads on Hulu correspond. I had heard some story or myth that Target could predict pregnancies based on customer’s purchase habits [1], and half believed it. Now I really do.

I really don't think these companies would risk doing that. I think millions of people receive advertising from chewy each day.

Snooping on users like that would cost them everything.
