What does "my teeth feel soft" mean?

At 1:03 of this video (http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/b3e57df4eb/pizza-farm-with-nick-offerman?_cc=_ d__&_ccid=cufzvq.nrizm0) the little girl says "my teeth feel soft".
What does it mean?

Also, at 0:23 the man says "where we are hard at work growing the ripe, juicy pizzas". If the pizzas are "ripe", why do you need to grow them?
Or he means the pizzas have rich flavour (and "juicy")?

My feeling is that we are meant to believe that what is contained within the Taquito she eats is so bad that it starts to dissolve her teeth. Hence she spits it out immediately. The man at 0:23 is talking about the end product.

I think he's talking about the pizzas when they "are" ripe. They still have to grow to get ripe. (They also don't have to be "juicy" when they are still growing.)

The teeth remark seems to be fairly random (as all of this is), but reminds of loss of enamel or dental erosion from too much sweets or acids.
