Literally LOL'd when I saw the ad.
"fridge, I need a 12 pack of beer and two large pizzas". Uber eats shows up 45 minutes later. We're all doomed! Ha ha ha.
such bullshit
So, what happens if I use pi-hole or adguard to block DNS for the advertisement TLDs, like I do for all the other gizmos in the house trying to show me ads or obtain telemetry data?

Should block it. Blocks the homescreen ads on my Roku.
The widget will appear by default on the fridges as part of the software update. However, Samsung is giving users the option to turn off ads. To do this, go to the Settings page on the fridge, scroll to Advertisements, select it, and you’ll be taken to a screen where you can toggle off ads.
This will remove the widget entirely. If you think you might actually like the widget’s other features (calendar, weather, and news), you can “X” out a particular ad, and it won’t pop up again. But then you’ll get another ad.
So it's a billboard with a build in beer cooler?
I'd sooner take a sledge hammer to it
I'm about to do that to my echo show
