.upper not working for me

Hi! Working on my shopping list app, and the .upper method is not behaving for me. I can remove the .upper and the if then statements will work, but if the .upper is there the if then's do not work.

Here is my code: https://w.trhou.se/8q7zkeg9yj

Remember that all methods are called using parentheses. In at least one place in the code you linked you've written:

new_item.upper

When what you need is:

new_item.upper()
