This has been my theory as well, Google presumably knows when I meet up with a friend for lunch (I don't know if they go to such lengths but they certainly have access to the data to figure it out), if my friend then starts searching for something related to our conversation afterwards, Google could serve me ads about it too, just inferring the topic of our conversation based on that
