I had 2 instances where this happened to me recently. Once was with Twitter and once with Facebook.

Mentioned Disney parks in a conversation in the car with my parents and the next day had Disney ads, never before.

About 2 days ago was talking about night guards for teeth with someone and the next day had Invisalign ads on Facebook.

I don't have the Facebook app installed, but do have the messenger app. I just turned off microphone access to the app and now it won't let me take pictures in-app.

Family got off the Interstate to get gas. We verbally considered Speedway -- a couple hundred yards up the road but then saw that the closer Mobile was easier to drive to and had the same price. Never drove to the Speedway. Never touched the smart phone with regard to it.

Some hours later, saw my first ever Speedway ad on Facebook. Never seen one before, even after pulling off at other exits having Speedways, for gas, and IIRC even filling up at one a time or two. (Note that I keep Android location services turned off on my phone.)

This is not the first time in the past couple of years that I've seen an ad or "Suggested" content on Facebook that relates to something that was only discussed verbally, a short time prior.
