In and of itself, it's just the sound the syllables make, and it's not quite exactly the same as the taboo word. It's an incidental coincidence, and it's only similar, not equal. It's best to not even bring attention to it.)

Notes

Olimar's journal

According to the ship's analysis, this gourd contains extremely bitter seeds. However, this analysis was done by a machine, so I'm not completely convinced. Normally I wouldn't mind trying it myself, but I haven't been feeling well since I ate that toxic berry...

Sales pitch

A vegetable with spiciness beyond description. None want to eat it, so it must be healthy! Nutrition-conscious people of today! Numb your palate and eat!

Trivia

  • Strangely, the vegetable is described as extremely spicy, like jalapeño peppers; however bell peppers are, in fact, very mild, and some varieties may be rather sweet to the taste.
  • Oddly, Olimar and the ship refer to the treasure as a vegetable, even though peppers are fruit.
