Ruby Ruby Collections Ruby Hashes Working with Hash Keys

What is wrong? Everything looks correct.

hash = { "name" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "calories" => 100 }

if hash.has_key?("calories") hash.store("food", true) end

I always get "Bummer: The food variable was not found"

hash.rb 
hash = { "name" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "calories" => 100 }

if hash.has_key?("calories")
  hash.store("food", true)
end

You are supposed to create a new variable named 'food' and set it equal to true, not add it to the hash variable.

I hope this helps :)
