this bottles tap is sealed and that reminds me of  an idiom and what is the idiom. It is 
34
244620
9240
04:13
someone's lips are sealed. Lips are sealed which  means you're unable to tell something  
35
253860
6060
04:19
for example, you can't tell a secret from if  someone told you a secret and you told that you  
36
259920
5160
04:25
should not tell it to anybody your lips will be  sealed that you can't tell it to anybody
37
265080
