Gmail has something like it too with the summary bit at the top of Amazon order emails. Had one the other day that said I ordered 2 new phones, which freaked me out. It's because there were ads to phones in the order receipt email.

IIRC Amazon emails specifically don't mention products that you've ordered in their emails to avoid Google being able to scrape product and order info from them for their own purposes via Gmail.
