Dear @drpepperofficial.bsky.social
I purchased a 12 pack of Dr Pepper Blackberry on Feb 1. Drank half a can with ice. Within an hour I developed a #migraine so bad I was vomiting and couldn't walk. #Aspartame and #Acesulfame potassium are toxic to some people. Fix this before you kill someone.

In decreasing order of safety for use:
1) COKE ZERO & PEPSI BLACK ( #Sucralose & #Acesulfame mix) (SAFER BET)
2) DIET COKE & DIET PEPSI ( #Aspartame & Acesulfame mix) (BETTER AVOID CAUSE OF ASPARTAME)
Natural sweeteners are considered to be safer ( #monkfruit #stevia #erythritol )
