There are plenty of wellness - conscious reasons to not drink soda . But one that you would n’t require : too much daily intake of rat . Unfortunately , that ’s what a 3 - year - previous in Texas allegedly found in a bottle of Dr Pepper when he took a big draft .
Local NBC affiliateWFLA describe Tuesday the child was drinking the soda in his car ass and handed the bottleful to his grandparents in the front seat . When he asked for the bottle back , that ’s when they say they find Master Splinter gone belly up .
This raises so many question . How did it take so long to notice ? Is this is a hoax ( seems likely ) ? Is the child hunky-dory ? And is so-and-so tail one ofDr . Pepper ’s 23 secret ingredients ?

The family says they took the shaver to the doctor on Sunday when the incident make place to have blood and piss sample taken to check that he did n’t abbreviate anything from the sugary dirty dog water . They ’ve also contacted the state and the CDC , as well as the producer of Dr Pepper . The Dr Pepper Snapple Group has asked for the bottle for examination , but the family is hanging onto it to have their own tests done on the rat , according to NBC .
In a affirmation to Thrillist , the Dr Pepper Snapple Group did n’t entirely deny the scab could very well have drive in there :
Nothing is more important to us than the guard and well - being of our consumers . We take all consumer complaints very earnestly , and we are very concerned about the call we received yesterday from Mr. Graves about this effect . This is a exclusive , set-apart incident , and we ’re working hard to investigate and correct the matter with this consumer .
The controls and safeguards we have in our production facilities make it almost inconceivable for any foreign object to get into a container at any stage of the bottle summons .
If for some atrocious rationality you require another view of the clams - preserved rodent , you’re able to catch a twain views of it in the below report from NBC 9 .
