Mark Cuban spills the beans
In Ancient Greece, white beans indicated positive votes and black beans negative. Votes had to be unanimous, so if the collector 'spilled the beans' before the vote was complete and a black bean was seen, the vote was halted. With time, the expression "spill the beans" became the term for "divulge a secret".
