Question: Using the merge method, create a hash named final_item that contains the grocery_item hash merged with the calories hash.
My answer:
grocery_item = { "item" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "brand" => "Treehouse Bread Company" }
calories = { "calories" => 100 }
grocery_item.merge( calories ) = final_item
Not sure what is wrong, but can't figure it out.

grocery_item = { "item" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "brand" => "Treehouse Bread Company" }
calories = { "calories" => 100 }
final_item = grocery_item.merge( calories )
