Hello Eghonghon OKPAH

It's just probably the space you are missing.

Try this:

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

Hi Eghonghon,

You're missing a space after the colon. Currently your message will read:

  • "Blueberry Smoothie:$4.99"

When you want it to read:

  • "Blueberry Smoothie: $4.99"

You can also remove the spaces around flavor and type inside the curly braces but this won't have any impact on the result.
