a spoonful of sugar

Both morphine and propranolol are really bitter and bad tasting and if they were all over the straw he absolutely would have tasted it right away--plus it would take a couple of mL of solution to do the trick, so how did she manage to get that into him with just a straw? O_o On top of everything else, apple juice can mess with the absorption of beta blockers. Mom would surely have known all of that, especially if she was planning a pharmaceutical murder! Maybe Mom was giving li'l bro propranolol regularly *before* the fateful day ("here, for your 'anxiety' my son") so that he wouldn't taste whatever she doped the juice with? Propranolol can alter your sense of taste, though it's not a guaranteed side effect. Could that be why he was so into eating sour candy--'cause nothing else tasted like anything by that time??

    this is all just conjecture, but I really am curious how Mom got such bitter medicines into li'l bro without a fuss. This was one explanation on how it could work. I'm looking forward to see what will be revealed!
