Salt

"I need some salt, man." "Go ahead." "I need it now, man!" [draws switchblade] "I need it now or I'm gonna bleed ya, man!" "Look, put the knife away. It's on every table next to the pepper and it's free."

Salt, or sodium chloride, was a common flavoring spice used all over the galaxy. No, not a spice, just a spice. Salt was perfectly safe and not addictive at all.

Unless... (piano chord)  You were an Arcona.

To the Arcona species, salt was a drug so highly addictive, it became a lifestyle for millions of its victims. Arcona who tried salt once became desperate for salt. They poured it onto the table, chopped it up fine with a credit card, rolled up a flimsiplast and snorted it right up their ugly nostrils. It filled their heads with bright exploding fog and turned their eyes gold with salt-lust.
