Hey,

After you split your available flavors on this line you get something like:

>>> available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
>>> sundaes = available.split(';')
>>> sundaes
['banana split', 'hot fudge', 'cherry', 'malted', 'black and white']

Then you have to rejoin the output into a new string variable. So, instead of using the split() method, you have to use the join() method: 

>>> display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes)

The final output should be something like (SPOILER ALERT!!): . . . . .

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

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Ronald
