There's something fundamentally concerning with this response:
"Things like this can change over time, brands can become stronger than the original meaning of a word even."
The implication being that in that region, US, more people think of bras than condiments/fruit when they think of pepper. That Google is just reflecting the state of the world. That seems like bullshit to me.
Made worse by the fact that enough people use Google that the opposite is more likely to be true.
Google's search got gamed by Pepper SEO, the US is not suddenly more more interested in a underwear brand than the food.
