This still is not working. Trying to create a hash if the statement is true.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

hash.rb 
grocery_item = { "item" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "brand" => "Treehouse Bread Company" }
if grocery_item.has_key?("Bread")
  groery_item["food"] = true
end

It asks you to use the has_value? method. Not the has_key? method. Try simply repacing the has_key? with has_value? Hope that helps!

Haha I've been so irritated with this and it was that simple. No idea how I kept missing that. Thank you sooo much!

Well, to be honest it's almost never the giant logic flaws that are the problem. It's the missing quote or the misspelled variable. Sometimes it's just nice to have an extra set of eyes :) But, you're quite welcome!

Yes, definitely, I also noticed I misspelled "grocery" . Either the way it now works, thanks to your help.
