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

Here's my solution, remember .join is a method you call on a string, this challenge seems to catch a lot of people out so don't feel bad about it!
