Hey Marcos -

The instructions for this last step asks you to use .join() to re-combine the available flavors with a ", " (comma+space). This can be done with something like:

display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes)

From there the new "display_menu" just needs to be included in the menu, which I'm sure you can figure out!
