I don't understand why it thinks sundaes is a list. It should be a string and the python shell agrees.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = " ".join(available.split(";"))

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

the error actually says "sundaes should be a list". So yes, right now it is a string (because you joined the list elements).
