I understand what the question is asking, but I can't find the right solution.
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
menu = "Our available flavors are: ."
', '.join(sundaes)
menu.format()

Treehouse TeacherHi there! When we use format we're putting something into a placeholder. But you've left out your placeholder (the curly braces). Take a look at how I did it:
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(", ".join(sundaes))
On the last line we have menu and you can see here I have the curly braces for the placeholder. Then we format it with the comma and space joining sundaes and put the result in the curly braces. Hope this helps!
