What's wrong with my code for the shopping list challenge?

I cannot seem to figure out why it keeps telling me: ''Bummer! Didn't find the right items to print''. I looked over the code again and again but it doesn't work. Could somebody help me out with this please? Thanks

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for item in items:
        if item == "STOP":
            break
    else:
        print(item)

Python is picky about indentation.

Python thought you were making a "else" for the "for" loop.

Just indent the "else" a little more and you should pass :)

breaks.py 
def loopy(items):
    # Code goes here
    for item in items:
        if item == "STOP":
            break
        else:
            print(item)

Good luck! ~alex
