The value of drink doesn't match the original string? What am I doing wrong?

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

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

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


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

Hi there, Mark Harrigan ! You're doing great. You simply have one too many spaces.

You have:

`${flavor}  ${type}: $${price}`;

Instead of:

`${flavor} ${type}: $${price}`;

Note the extra space in the first one between the flavor and type :smiley:

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

Hi Jennifer,

Thank you for the help. That did the trick. While frustrating, I'm grateful for the pointer.

Thanks!

Mark
