Why is my code not working??

I think I have everything put in correctly and have went over it multiple times. It is saying I haven't defined snack but it looks exactly like the videos, please help.

<p> sodas = ["Pepsi", "Cherry Coke Zero", "Sprite"]
chips = ["Doritos", "Fritos"]
candy = ["Snickers", "M&Ms", "Twizzlers"]

while True:
    choice = input("Would you like a SODA, some CHIPS, or a CANDY? ").lower()
    if choice == 'soda':
        snack = sodas.pop()
    elif choice == 'chips':
        snack == chips.pop()
    elif choice == 'candy':
        snack = candy.pop()
    else:
        print("Sorry, I didn't understand that.")
        continue
    print("Here's your {}: {}".format(choice, snack))
</p>```

This line has a comparison operator (==) but I think you should have an assignment (=) there instead:

        snack == chips.pop()
