Can you show me how I'm not passing this example?

I believe I have fulfilled all the requests and I've checked behind the editor feature and it all looks good to me. I'm at a loss now.

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

You were so close it hurts. The very last line you used display_menu and not menu.

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