Hey! I love brussels sprouts!

I used to take Midol when I was a teen, and they were kind of big for me, so I'd split them in half (you can buy pill splitters to make it easier). To help swallow them--and I used to have trouble taking any pill, so this is my own method I came up with to take pills--I took a miniature marshmallow, ripped it almost in half, slipped the pill (or pill half) in, and sealed the marshmallow back up, trying to make sure it was sealed well, so it wouldn't pop back open, and popped it in my mouth. I gently rolled it around to get the powdered sugar off of it, which leaves the very slippery gelatin, and let it go towards the back of my throat, relax my throat as soon as I was able, and the marshmallow will slide right down.
