it looks right, but still gets an 'i cannot read the property error'?

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

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

Hey Amy,

When using const to declare a variable this locks that assignment in -- the same variable cannot be reassigned. Trying to assign drink a different value will produce an error. For this challenge rewrite the line originally provided for the drink variable instead of trying to reassign it.

Also, your template literal will produce this text: Blueberry Smoothie: 4.99
Note that there isn't a dollar sign, you'll need to add that in to complete the challenge.
