Many (too many) years ago, I was given a Panadol by a BA FA on my first ever flight... LAX-LHR.

In my job, I had a manager that kept Tylenol in his desk, and everyone knew it. Whenever we asked for two (or three,) there was always the prepared speech: "I'm giving this to you as a friend, and not as a co-worker..."

We always laughed, but knew what he was doing.
