Okay, I just looked at the challenge: The task was to get 'menu' right, not to put it into a new variable var, like you did: So it should be like this: 

var = ", ".join(sundaes)
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(var)

Your solution would have worked in real life, but not in the challenges that test against the predefined variable 'menu' that is supposed to have the right content.

Hello Angelo,

it would be easier to answer, if I would also know the question, not just your answer, but what I noticed is that you use 'join' in a wrong way: it should be used like this: 

var = menu.format(", ".join(sundaes))
