Why won't it append?

Can someone please help. When I try to append something from 'dessert' it won't append the list of snacks, but for 'drinks' and 'takeaway' it will?

Name is 'vending2.py'

code:

Hi there! The problem lies in the comparison in the elif for the desserts.

You wrote: 

elif dessert == 'dessert':

But dessert is a list defined earlier in your code. I feel like you meant to check choice so you would need:

elif choice == 'dessert':

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
