Why are pineapples spicy?

Eh? No, that's what spicy foods do. Acid gives a sour flavor.

So if i were to douse my tongue in hyperchloric acid, i would not feel a burning sensation, but only an unpleasing taste?

If it was actually burning your tongue it would feel like that. Spicy foods make you feel like your tongue is burning when it isn't actually. Diluted acids are just sour though.

Based on a quick google search: Also known as Perchloric Acid - HClO4.
