if(dispenser.isEmpty()) { System.out.println("It is currently empty"); } System.out.println("Loading.....");

  dispenser.load();

  if(!dispenser.isEmpty()){
  System.out.println("It is no longer empty ");
  }
  while(dispenser.dipense()) {
  System.out.println("chomp!");

   }
  if(dispenser.isEmpty()) {

Your code is hard to read because of how you pasted it. I believe your problem is because of your curly braces. Make sure that the main method's closing curly brace is the second to last curly brace, followed by your class's closing curly brace and then try again. If that doesn't work, re paste your code and DON'T break it up between 5 code blocks with some of the code in between the code blocks.

Seeing as how you didn't include PezDispenser.java I'm assuming that your code in that file is all correct when you're calling those methods.
