Take a look at the novel Infinite Jest. In the book, a film maker makes a movie that is so enjoyable that people cannot stop watching it. It's not physically addictive like heroin, but the viewers derive so much pleasure from the film they simply cannot turn it off.
Potato chips and ring dings may not cause an actual physical addiction, but the pleasure some people get from junk food can develop into a mental addiction, for sure.
