Lol, reminds me of examples like Kopi Luwak coffee beans - somebody, somewhere, followed a type of cat, civet cat, and, once the cat defecated, decided that _that_ cat shit looked most appealing, so why not go ahead and taste it? Or, pore through the shit, extract the beans found in the fecal matter, and make coffee out of those. Why not?
And, thanks to those people's sacrifices, we now get to enjoy good coffee.

Chasing the buzz they figured out coffee.
