12,453 Pointswell we have couple of issues here. first of all there is no need to call twice to split, neither to join. Both of these methods do not change the input but instead return a new object (list or string).
the real issue though is the join method is used incorrectly. the join method is used on a string object and gets a list as an argument; that means you should use
(', ').join(sundaes)
one more thing is that by calling
menu.format('display_menu')
you are not assigning the formatted string to the variable menu you should probably "prepare" all your variables prior to declaring the menu variable and then call
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}".format(display_menu)
I think this is it
