It is frustrating to keep receiving an error saying "Task 1 is no longer working" when I haven't even changed Task 1.

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

Not sure why it's telling you task one is not passing. You're close, your problem is in the assignment of display_menu.

display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes) # Your code has     sundaes.join(", ")

:-)

Thanks Wes! Extremely irritating to not receive the correct error message, makes the learning really hard :(
