Fun fact: pineapple makes your tongue burn not because it's acidic (many foods are,) but because it contains tons of a digestive enzyme called bromelain. This means that eating fresh pineapple with your meal, especially the core, will help you digest the rest of your meal. But it also means that while it's in your mouth, before it gets to the protective layer of mucus in your stomach, it is literally digesting your own flesh.
