hash problem, hash.merge{"new"=>"thing"}

So this question asks to merge new item with a specific key, however it is not accepting the merge

Try this:

grocery_item = { "item" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "brand" => "Treehouse Bread Company" }

if grocery_item.has_value?("Bread")
  grocery_item["food"] = true
end

grocery_list = grocery_item.values_at("item")

This works: 

grocery_item = { "item" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "brand" => "Treehouse Bread Company" }

if grocery_item.has_value?("Bread")
  grocery_item.store("food", true)
end
