"Don't spill the beans".
Surprise birthday parties were popular when I was growing up. If you were told about a surprise party you couldn't "let it out" to anyone. The secret had to be contained by not letting anyone else know. Even buying a gift was a secretive mission. By not telling anyone anything about it, that was "not spilling the beans". It was fun to see the expression on the person's face when we all yelled "Surprise"!!----and the fun surprise birthday party had begun.
The secret had been kept, it was not let out, it stayed contained because people remembered:
"Don't spill the beans".
