Inventory is connected to the internet. Credit card machines are connected to the internet. All that has to happen is the computer links you to the missing juice

You're right. The ad may not be a coincidence, but it 100% didn't come from the credit card information. They do not sell individual data.
It's bundled and can be sorted by individual. How quickly I don't know, we use it weeks/months after the fact.

That is fricking wild to me. I thought they'd sell bulk customer data, but not individual with names and it link it that fast.
They can sell you without giving up any personal information. In fact it's in their interest to not give up your personal information and let the advertisers bypass them in the future. No doubt the adnetwork arrangement is something along the lines of "show this ad to anyone that bought this."

I'm 100% confident you cannot find the individual purchases of Joe Smith.

Are you sure your phone didn't just correct your search for "naked jews"?

Yall are probably the 4 millionth company to see if it after that long.
Like I said before, anything anyone in the world does dealing with electronics is recorded. Someone can probably tell you when your old lady dries her hair in the morning

my understanding of location based marketing is this:
the juice company goes into a store, and gets the EXACT GPS coordinate of where their product is. Lets say 457.2345 / 345.2435 (I made this up)
You, with a phone in your pocket with LOCATION SERVICES TURNED ON, is constantly beaming exactly where you are in the world.
Anytime your phone wanders into the 457.2345 / 345.2435 gps location zone, the Juice company has paid some advertising network to beam their ad to your phone, since you were RIGHT in front of their display , and may return in the future
it doesn't make sense for the juice company to spend on ads to people who literally are never in a store to buy their juice.. so they do it this way
a lot of department stores do this. turn OFF location services if you don't want this feature

Probably some fat nerdy developer/coder called them that.

Because you leave 'crumbs' of sites your visited etc.

Why would they need to advertise to you when you've already bought it?

I just poked around the Facebook Ads Manager and looked at creating an ad aimed at people that bought things. There wasn't anything for specific products, although I imagine a national brand with a big ad budget has more options, but I did see several general purchase categories specifically:
Purchase Behavior -> Food and Drink -> Beverages -> Sports Drinks
The source listed for this information was:
Loyalty card and transaction-level household purchase data with multi-channel coverage across all product categories.
So I'd say that Facebook immediately knows that you bought that because your credit card company told them so, and they probably tell them about everything you buy.

Here's one that is puzzling me though. I was talking to my dad over the phone (iphones) about buying a new tire for his 4wheeler. A few hours later, the front page of drudgereport had an ad at the top for the tires.
I never once typed in 4wheeler tires, googled them, etc. Nothing but voice.
Had the exact same thing happen to me except my phone was in my pocket when I was talking in-person about needing to buy tires.
Then I told a friend in fb messenger that she should get a laser pointer for her cat and the very next time I came to the rant I see ads for a laser pointer
Big Brother is real.

Had the exact same thing happen to me the other day with a bottle of scotch that I bought for a buddies birthday. I don't think I've ever bought Glenfiddich before and low and behold the first time I ever see said ad is on instagram an hour after purchasing.
