Getting error: Task 1 is no longer passing, the code appears to be correct, what am I doing wrong?
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
display_menu = sundaes.join(", ")
menu = menu.format(display_menu)

Your error is in line 4, you call the join method on a string not on a list.
#should be
display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes)
# not
display_menu = sundaes.join(", ")
happy coding

display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes)
