It's probably not advertising that they are afraid that you will block but the trackers. They want to know what user is clicking where, how long you are on each page and what you ordered / not ordered.

Are they making money selling food or selling ad spots? Stupid businesses don't deserve to stay in business.

[–] benhum@feddit.uk 67 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They are tracking you so they can sell you more chicken. Remarketing.

I love how you could literally be trying to give a company money and they still want more...

[–] frezik@midwest.social 19 points 1 year ago

They don't want some of the money. They want all of the money.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 89 points 1 year ago (8 children)

Remember kids, adblock stops more than just the ads you see.

Also, fuck yeah I'd download a chicken tender.

why the fuck they need to show you an ad. you're already there buying chicken

[–] UFO64@lemmy.world 46 points 1 year ago

Why make money if you can make MORE money?

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 20 points 1 year ago

They probably aren't showing you ads. They are probably inserting trackers to tag you as a person, a purchaser, who likes chicken and is willing to pay for food, for delivery etc. the size of your order may hint at demographics, like family, kids. The address.gives useful data, the type of credit card. What kind of software and hardware loaded the site? Etc etc.

[–] yokonzo@lemmy.world 69 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If there's no secrets then there shouldn't be any problem with ad blocking

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 year ago

I interpret this as a pretty clear "you aren't allowed to have secrets" message. The only secrets allowed are theirs, not yours. They're going to track everything you do.

[–] OutrageousUmpire@lemmy.world 61 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How bizarre. I mean, you’re trying to pay them money.

Their "joke" to shoehorn in a statement about their 11 herbs and spices doesn't even make sense. Like, it's implying you are using an ad blocker to gain secrets? What?

The overworked tech dude who had to build this page just didn't give a single shit I guess.

[–] moneyinphx@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The overworked tech dude didn’t have a single say on what went on there. That was the out of touch marketing team and project manager.

Ah, achieving optimal performance by letting them run more scripts and displaying more stuff.

[–] kusuriya@infosec.pub 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They never said what performance they are optimizing, I'm pretty sure it's profit.

looks like we need ad blocker detection blockers now.

Make sure to update your Ad Blocker settings to include the whole site.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Went to some kind of restaurant chain once (red robin I think?) and there were ads as we were eating.

[–] pikmeir@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Yeah they put ads on that little screen you use to pay. Also it never has any receipt paper loaded.

[–] bartolomeo@suppo.fi 28 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Secret? My god, the sense of entitlement of capital.

Just to be clear, is the implication here that people should use ad blockers in secret and that the "right" thing to do is to consume whatever media (and expose open tabs, history, etc) corporate wants you to see?

WTF

What ads are even on a Pepsico website? Why would Pepsi need 3rd party advertising on their own website?

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably telemetry, which most ad blockers also block. I think you meant kfc instead of pepsi

[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 year ago (10 children)

KFC is under the PepsiCo monopoly

[–] droans@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yum (KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut) split from Pepsi a couple decades ago back in 1997.

I don't eat there anyways, but I wish I could even more not eat there now.

[–] viralJ@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe you should cook some food and deliver it to your local KFC - would that count?

They didn't understand what an adblocker is for? Their privacy vs. your privacy.

That 11 herbs and spices is probably not a secret anymore.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@kbin.run 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No longer a secret: The recipe found by Joe Ledington reads as follows:

11 Spices – Mix with 2 cups white flour

2⁄3 t salt
1⁄2 t thyme
1⁄2 t basil
1⁄3 t oregano
1 t celery salt
1 t black pepper
1 t dry mustard
4 t paprika
2 t garlic salt
1 t ground ginger
3 t white pepper

Please eat less fried foods, for your own health.

The ad blocker fight is getting really strange. I don't use a blocker, but this morning I couldn't read an article on google news without disabling my ad blocker which I don't have.

[–] Vash63@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe your browser is blocking tracking or other cookies that adblockers also target.

They block TOR too. I have never had KFC, I was just curious how bad one of those sites was.
