A QR code on a yoghurt that I bought couple of months ago came with some interstitial ad due to an unpaid fee. It made me double check the yoghurt's expiration date.

A QR code is just data, it doesn't have to be a URL, it could just as easily be any kind of data

Realistically if you want to contain anything but short text or heavily compressed data URIs you need to be hosting it on a domain the code points to.
