Does Crystal Light give anyone else migraines?

I drank the sugar-free pink lemonade for two days and got migraines both days. Someone suggested to me it may be the aspartame in it, but I've been drinking diet soda for years with aspartame in it and have never gotten a migraine. This is so weird? I'm wondering what else could possibly be in it that would give me migraines. I didn't drink it today and, miracle, no migraine.

It's the aspartame.
It could also be one of the many chemicals that make up that "drink". I mean, wtf are these things???

Citric Acid (Provides Tartness), Potassium Citrate (Controls Acidity), Maltodextrin, Aspartame (Phenylketonurics: Contains Phenylalanine) (Sweetener), Magnesium Oxide (Prevents Caking), Contains Less than 2% of Natural Flavor, Acesulfame Potassium (Sweetener), Soy Lecithin, Artificial Color, Red 40 Lake.

Personally, you couldn't pay me to drink ANY product with aspartame or Splenda

yes, yes and yes. haha. I just had a discussion at lunch with my lunch partners and we were all talking about how diet soda (also has asparatame) gives people really bad headaches.
