GMail & Spam Fajitas: Add extra salsa if desired

When I look in my GMail spam folder, it serves up ads for recipes that feature spam the product as in the example below. Is that a humorous way to fill inventory devised by some cheeky Googler, is it an actual paid placement by the recipe site, or is that really the best that Google’s ad-serving tech can do?

Given their dismal performance on the Desktop Tower Defence site, I wonder. That being said, it seems a little too consistent - every time I look in that folder there’s a different recipe. I’m leaning towards humour on this one…
