I'm not a Scanner expert, but I think...
after you get the weight with a nextDouble() the following carriage-return is still there (it's not part of the double). Then you do a nextLine() which gives you all the chars up to the next CR - which is a zero-length String because there are no chars left before the CR. You need to skip over the CR that's left after the nextDouble(), the the following nextLine() will have to wait for you to type something in.

Scanner class can be tricky to use. Scanner reads and saves what you enter in a buffer and then returns tokens to the next... calls except for the nextLine call which returns it all.
Write a simple test program to test the different next... and has... methods to get a feel for how it works. Also try inputing different input values in different ways like more than one token on a line for next... calls.
