Working with Hash values Question

I can't get the correct code for this question, mainly because I don't know what the question is asking me to do.

hash.rb 
grocery_item = { "item" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "brand" => "Treehouse Bread Company" }
grocery_item.has_value?("Bread")

if true
  grocery_item["food"] = "true"
end

You are very close. When you say if true, it'll always 100% of the time evaluate to true when this code is ran. Which is not what we want, for obvious reasons.

Your statement above does check, and if the condition is true, will evaluate to true. So we simply just need to do an easy refactor, and change our statement to this

if grocery_item.has_value?("Bread")
  grocery_item["food"] = true
end
