Acid Fog - damaging objects

[Plane Sailing]

So the acid fog spell says " Each round on your turn, starting when you cast the spell, the fog does 2d6 points of acid damage to each creature and object within it".

Would you apply this damage to weapons and equipment worn by characters? Magic gear too?

It is the stipulation that it damages all objects within it which makes me wonder (also considering the perhaps relatively low power of the spell?)

Items worn or carried by characters, don't take damage from spells or other sources, except when the source states, that they do!
And as it seems this spell can't do that.

Ah, but that's where the question arises - the spell specifically mentions that it damages objects. Why?

Normal spells will damage unattended objects and (an) attended object(s) only if the target fails a save with a 1... and don't specifically call out objects in their description, do they?

I've not got any axe to grind here, just wondering about the interesting phrasing here.

Because you could choose to use the spell to destroy a door, or an altar, or whatever object you want. However, attended objects generally aren't affected until the creature wearing them dies, or something specific happens (such as rolling a natural 1 on their save).
