You can nerd/troll online or have the misfortune of dealing with him in person!
OPTION 1: TEXT/BBS
How can you even say that? It's not even a matter of arguing SEMANTICS. Anyone with a remedial understanding of the physiology or biology of the digestive system could make the leap it's essentially controlled acid reflux. It's like if the dilophosaurus in Jurassic Park had even been remotely accurate except on an enormous scale. The corrosive capabilities of the Kaiju's acid are accelerated dramatically. We're talking a pH in the NEGATIVES. It's like Gastric acid on steroids which makes it extremely deadly and effective. AND pretty bad ass. Like, seriously.
Besides the Kaiju wouldn't be the first creature to employ projectile bodily fluids as an offense or defense. We should be glad they're not shooting blood out of their eyes!!
ACTUALLY. That would also be kind of cool.
OPTION 2: ACTION/CONVENIENCE STORE
[ Newt can eat a lot of things--a lot of things that don't necessarily belong to him, which is part of the reason why he's bothered to wander off base at all. It just happened that all of his things were gone or had started to perform an experiment of Darwinism on their own in the shared refrigerator in the lab, so some of his colleague's things had looked more appetizing. (This is, of course, not long after the conversation turned argument turned begrudging agreement that not all refrigerating devices are acceptable for storing things not meant for human consumption. But isn't easier to replace a Hoagie than it does vital organ tissue? Whatever.)
The point is a brain that works as hard as his needs something a little more than the same rations day in and day out. His mind needs variety and excitement in forms of puzzles, problems, and proteins, although he's feeling more like the quick burst of carbohydrates. Which he knows shouldn't come in the form of a Twinkie, but damn if he can't choose the way he dies.
Of course, as if all contractors had the same idea--or perhaps there's just one really skinny guy out there picking up all the lucrative convenience store and gas station deals--the aisles are cramped, over-packed, and not the easiest to navigate. Newt grabs the slow death that high-fructose corn syrup provides and takes a step back and onto something that isn't the floor. ]
--Oh sh--...sorry!

1 - this is probably a forum/network of sorts for nerdy people with odd interests
Would be blood be acid too? And how would they prevent from going blind in the process. How the hell does a blood-from-the-eyes shooter thingy doesn't go blind anyway? I'm guessing there's specialized ducts not related with eyesight involved but, even if a Kaiju has the same thing it would be just too simple to hit it in the right place and boom, acid spill.
I insist, adding acid to any equation is an evolutionary fail. There are too many ways to exploit it.
Would be pretty cool though, I'll give you that much.
sounds like the perfect place to be!
Kaiju are essentially giant walking biohazards as far as EARTH is concerned. But wherever they come from? If their decomposition is completely destroying their home environment then maybe that's why they're paying us a visit. Let's not forget that they're silicon-based lifeforms. Silicon has four available bonds just like carbon, but the strength of those bonds is SEVERELY compromised. You rarely see silicon-based peptides having multiple silicon molecules to being with. We're dealing with a COMPLETELY new way to structure biology as we know it.
Which is also still really cool.
But even cooler when you shoot acid from your tear ducts.
