Hey Jason,

For this challenge, we need to add a key and value to the hash - we can do this in two way:

1) using the .store method :

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

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

Or

2) directly add the desired pairs as followed: 

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

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

I prefer method number 1.

I hope this helps.
