I’m so sorry, mominjerusalem, to join in the fun you started with something negative. But you’re a Jewish Mom with adorable kinderlach and I can’t help feeling that maternal instinct kick in to take care of all of you!
Please never ever use winkies in a mishloach manos as pretend pills. Never ever refer to them (as people did in the Dark Ages when I was little) as “aspirin candy”. Children should never see candy or sweets placed in a pill box. As it is, pills are colorful and the shape reminds kids of candy, without our encouragement. Even with the most careful mother keeping all medicines safely stowed in an inaccessible medicine cabinet, those cunning, creative little ones can find their way to your pill bottles. They must be taught as early as possible that medicine can be very dangerous. Any resemblance or reference to candy should be strictly avoided.
Hope you all enjoy a great simchadik Purim!
