Challenge Task 3 of 3
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
display_menu = sundaes.join(", ")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}".format(", ".join(sundaes))

You actually do have the correct answer, but you also have a couple of extra and irrelevant lines of code. Your last line of code is all you need.
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}".format(", ".join(sundaes))
The two lines before that essentially do what the last one is doing. So if you just delete these two
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
display_menu = sundaes.join(", ")
the Bummer! will go away for the 3rd task.
Just a note: This challenge is very picky, so if you are starting from task one again, you cannot paste the entire code block back in (as you can in most challenges). But you've got this...
Keep coding! :)
