I usually am looking for recipes or fashion ideas as well as gardening.
I just opened Pinterest and on my list I have an add for a Cartier watch (def. not in my budget), pumpkin carving ideas for Halloweeen, Snowmen cookies, an ad for children's pyjamas, as well as a lot of silly 'celebrity surgeries that went wrong!" 'disaster wedding cakes!" etc.
Although I was sidetracked by a oat and pumpkin muffin recipe....I guess that is their goal, to catch you with something interesting enough to make you click on it.
