const flavor = "Blueberry"; const type = "Smoothie"; const price = 4.99; const drink = (` "${flavor} ${type}: $${price}

This my code but its still saying it missing a space between flavor and type i added the space but it still wrong.

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

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

The message is misleading, the actual issue is that the original code did not output spaces and quote marks around the outside of the string, and the ones being added here are confusing the challenge.

Thank you, so how would I go about fixing it?

Just remove the extra spaces and quote marks:

const drink = (` "${flavor} ${type}: $${price}" `);
//              ^^                            ^^
//              remove these to make the output the same as before
