Funny story: at my first programming job, there was a coworker that had never had coffee before. Then he tried some and started drinking it everyday. Then he realized “he couldn’t stop” after it was time to start paying the coffee club dues (somehow there was an IT shop without free coffee).

It is surprising, but from my experience, there are some people that actually don’t realize it’s addictive.

It's interesting that these anecdotes are all about coffee. You never hear "tried mountain dew once and couldn't stop"
