ruby hashes challenge: task 1 no longer passing

I'm not sure what is going wrong here. I passed task 1, then I get an error message. Does anyone know what could be wrong?

Thanks!

hash.rb 
#GIVEN
grocery_item = { "item" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "brand" => "Treehouse Bread Company" }

#Task 1
grocery_item.has_value?("Bread")

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


#Task 2
grocery_list = [ grocery_item.values_at?("item") ]

Hi Christine,

You need to remove square brackets [ ] around the last output. Then all is good. 

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

#Task 1
grocery_item.has_value?("Bread")

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

#Task 2
grocery_list = grocery_item.values_at("item")

Thanks Salman! I wish it wasn't so buggy where I thought that something was wrong with the first task's code. It was driving me crazy!
