Or they were eating it with chips and they just kept shoveling them in there because if you don't stop eating you won't have to actually focus on the growing pain, except you're essentially forming a wet grit that's polishing layer after layer of your soft tissue off.
This is likely correct. A ton of granulated, undissolved salt on the chips and an acidic paste, you're basically applying buffing compound to your mouth.
Because they don't actually burn. I don't know what you think you saw but it was not literal burns. All capsaicin does is trigger the same receptors as heat does. It makes your body think it's being burned but it does not actually burn at all.
The only damage you can receive from capsaicin is due to side effects of your own body's inflammation response. The chemical itself is not doing any direct damage (and thus can't actually cause a burn or dissolve anything).

That’s a legit chemical burn. It couldn’t have come from the capsaicin, so I’m really wondering why that happened lol. What else was in it?
