My MM Container fits a mini Liquor, and thats what I was palnning to use. The issue isthat the rest of my MM is shehakol, and I need something in there to be a different bracha. I cannot seem to find any food with another bracha to fit the box or color scheme.
Is there such a thing as mini White wine bottles? Same size as the Smirnoff Mini bottles?

What else is in your mm? Maybe we can help swap something out for another Bracha.

It's a myth that mm needs to contain 2 brochos. 2 distinct minim even from the same brocho are fine.

Really? Do you have a source I can share with DH?

Rather, if he believes it needs two brachos- ask him to share a source for that. its sourceless. a common misconception.

the mitzvah is two different minim, two different foods. even two different candies!

Interesting, thank you!
I also see here that the foods need to be ready to serve, specifically for the seuda? interesting. I never heard of that.
Most people I Know do not send foods for the seuda

This is the biggest misconception. Definitely can have 2 same brochos.
Needs to be edible (eg cant not give raw rice)
I just read that it can even be 2 of the same foods if they are different flavors.

It could be they send one with food for the seudah that's yotzei that requirement and the rest don't need it...

Also, if you give 1 or 2 people like a rav a different mm such as wine and chocolate, that counts as your real mm and then your pretty theme one can be anything.
Btw, am I the only one that throws those all out? Tiny liquor with matching candy! Straight in my trash

I don’t really bake. And those liqueurs are cheap gross medicine drinks. I only save the chocolate liquors.

Most are chometz and I don’t bake much in these few weeks.
And it’s usually gross flavor to match gross candy

Interesting. I guess since we sell chometz I can just stick on the shelf and use it whenever...

Do you have a source it needs to be 2 Brachos? No because the sources on the Mitzvah of MM state it needs to be two kinds of food

I find it so wild how misconceptions are so far reaching and concrete in many people's minds!!
