user input producing incorrect boolean

[al_Czervik]

Thanks again. I fixed the syntax and it works now. Ok. I see about the string formatting - getting a little ahead of myself. I'm a little confused as to why print(menu_ask,"in the new menu =",menu_ask in new_menu) produces soup in the new menu = True however

paint_colors = "red, blud, green, black, orange, pink"
print("Red in paint colors = ", red in paint_colors)

where red in paint_colors throws a name error

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-35-2f9734434943> in <module>()
      1 paint_colors = "red, blud, green, black, orange, pink"
----> 2 print("Red in paint colors = ", red in paint_colors)

NameError: name 'red' is not defined

The instructor specifies that when using red in paint_colors, red needs to be a str 'red'
