Can't push variable which is object into the array

Question

this is my javascript

var inventory = [];
var money = 10;
function buyToInventory(what){
    if(this.price>money){
        log.unshift("D"+day+" "+hour+":"+minute+" - Poor hobo, you can't afford "+this.name+".<br>");
    } else {
        inventory.push=what;
        money=money-this.price;
            updateMoney();
    };
};
function drinkable(name, price, effect){
    this.name = name;
    this.price = price;
    this.effect = effect;
    this.use = function(){
        satisfy(thirst,this.effect,"#thirst")
    };
};
var water = new drinkable("1l water", 1, 20);

Problem is when I write this in console buyToInventory(water). It seems like my function buyToInventory is totally wrong, it doesnt push water into the inventory array or when I set money = 0, it doesn't add that message about not having money. I can't figure out what am I doing wrong. Any help will help me a lot. :)

Thanks.

I think you likely mean to use what.price instead of this.price. Here, if you really are calling buyToInventory(water), then this is the global window object inside buyToInventory. — apsillers

To use push, to push an item into the array, you need to do:

inventory.push(what);

Or whatever part of what you need e.g. price as mentiond by @apsillers
