Shh....It's a Secret

We don't normally drink real Coke, but snagged one at an event we attended recently. On the way home, Wm. asked what was in Coke. Oh, I mused, sugar, caffeine, carbonated water, coloring. He kept pressing for "what else"? Finally, I told him that the ingredients in Coke were a closely kept secret.

Exasperated, he asked, "If it is a secret, why are you telling me?"
