How do I use the correct format specifier?

I'm getting this error: "Bummer! you didn't use the correct format specifier."

I'm not too sure at what that exactly means, can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

nsarray.mm 
NSArray *drinks = @[@"juice",@"water",@"coffee"];
    for (NSString *drinkName in drinks) {  
        NSLog(drinkName);
    }

Spencer, it means you need a String formatted as follows as the first parameter of NSLog:

NSArray *drinks = @[@"juice",@"water",@"coffee"];
    for (NSString *drinkName in drinks) {  
        NSLog(@"%@", drinkName);
    }
