Alright, let's finish making our menu. Combine the sundaes list into a new variable named display_menu, where each item in the list is rejoined together by a comma and a space (", "). Then reassign the menu variable to use the existing variable and .format() to replace the placeholder with the new string in display_menu. If you're really brave, you can even accomplish this all on the same line where menu is currently being set.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
display_menu = (sundaes).join","
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."format(display_menu)

It looks like you're really close, but flip "," and (sundaes) around:
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes)
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}".format(display_menu)
Hope this helps!

This is referring to the display_menu line of the code.
