Because it is.

The original string which you split on results in "s" being assigned to
zz[0], including the quotes.  (i.e. you're assigning three characters to
each array element).

When you compare for equality on the next line, due to syntax you're
only comparing to one character - s - as the quotes indicate to ruby
that it's dealing w/ a string literal.

Try this:
zz[0] == "\"s\""
