Keep in mind that Python is very picky! Apparently you have an extra space between the first { and the closing }.

Also, you just left out a stray = which will cause a Syntax error.

Third, the challenge asked you to assign menu to the sundaes list with each element joined with a comma and a space (to create a string).

Fourth, you didn't call the format() function on the last string, so Python doesn't know what to do with the {} in the string, so it leaves it as it is (It doesn't replace the {} with anything). In this situation, the challenge wants you to format in the newly modified menu variable.

Lastly, since code challenges are also picky, you should remove the extra period . at the end of the last string.

Complete code:

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

P.S: I edited my code so it's not sundaes.join(', ') but so it is ', '.join(sundaes). I know it's weird, and I mistake this all of the time.

I hope this helps
