JavaScript JavaScript Basics Working with Strings Write a Template Literal

I tried this for this question and it doesn't work const drink = `${flavor} ${type}: $${price}`;

Convert the set of concatenated strings assigned to the drink variable to a template literal. The final string should be

app.js 
const flavor = "Blueberry";
const type = "Smoothie";
const price = 4.99;

const drink = flavor + ' ' + type + ': ' + '$' + price;

Hi James Barshaw!

I have tried it and it worked fine for me. What is the error message for you?

This passed for me:

const flavor = "Blueberry";
const type = "Smoothie";
const price = 4.99;

const drink = `${flavor} ${type}: $${price}`;

which looks the same as your code, so I'm not sure what the issue is. Sometimes the tests are fickle/particular. Try copying and pasting my code as is and see if it passes. I've had to do that before with other people's solutions, where I could not - for the life of me - spot the difference!?!
