Bug on Working with Hash Values Challenge Task 2 of 2

https://teamtreehouse.com/library/ruby-collections/ruby-hashes/working-with-hash-values-2

This challenge will not let me pass, though I am providing good code. I tested the code using my own .rb file and running it in Terminal. When I ask it to "puts grocery_list", it returns Bread, proving that the code is getting the correct value and is placing it in the new array. But Treehouse tells me the new array does not include "Bread." Please see the attached screenshot. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but to my logic, the code I have written is doing exactly what was asked in the challenge.

Hi Brian,

As I can see your screenshot, one minor error is square bracket [ ], that is not necessary to have it. Values_at method would create new hash automatically.

grocery_item = { "item" => "Bread", "quantity" => 1, "brand" => "Treehouse Bread Company" }
if grocery_item.has_value?("Bread") == true
  grocery_item.store("food", true)
end
grocery_list = grocery_item.values_at("item")

Hope that helps.

Thank you. It's maddening that it was something so simple, but thank you.
