Treehouse TeacherHi there, Kevin Ortiz! This is just a very minor user error. In these challenges, especially dealing with strings, it's doing a check to see that the string you produce is exactly like the string it's expecting. In this case, you have a couple of extra spaces in your string. You have an extra space at the beginning and an extra space at the end. So essentially, you have a scenario where it's testing something like:
" Hello World " == "Hello World"
... and those two don't match up exactly. The former has two extra spaces.
You'll need to remove the extra spaces.
You typed:
return " I think " + Foodone + " and " + Foodtwo + " are tasty! ";
But you meant to type:
return "I think " + Foodone + " and " + Foodtwo + " are tasty!";
Hope this helps!

380 PointsI appreciate the reply, my answer is still not coming out correctly, so at this point I need someone to write out the code correctly in order for me see what I'm doing wrong or what I'm just not doing.

Treehouse TeacherHi, Kevin Ortiz! Here is your code very slightly altered and passes the test for me. If it does not pass for you, the implication there is that something is cached somewhere, and you may need to hit the "restart challenge" button:
using System;
class Program
{
static string Eat( string Foodone, string Foodtwo)
{
return "I think " + Foodone + " and " + Foodtwo + " are tasty!";
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine(Eat("apples", "blueberries"));
Console.WriteLine(Eat("carrots", "daikon"));
}
}
All I did was remove the preceding and trailing space from your string

380 PointsI appreciate you so much Jennifer Nordell it was starting to become real frustrating but you helped me out so much even if it was a simple fix, thank you. I will try and pay more attention to details like spaces.
