In my script, I set display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes), then set the menu format menu = menu.format(display_menu), and it was correct

Hi Annegail Your code is ok till the last line , you set the display_menu variable to menu.format() when actually it should be

display_menu = ', 'join(sundaes)

this variable must be created from sundaes list From here there is 2 ways to go

menu = menu.format(display_menu)

or where the menu variable created

menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(display_menu)

I hope it helps to understand. All the best.
