I am getting stuck on the last line of code. I have no idea why it won't work.

It definitely has to do with .format()

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

switch how you are calling the join method. it is called on the string you want to put between the elements you want to join, so for example: ', '.join(sundaes).
