Hey, you are almost there. Here is my code for this task:

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';') # This statement splits the 'available' string at the semi-colons
display_menu = ', '.join(sundaes) # Here you join the content of 'sundaes and separate them by a comma and space (', ')

menu = 'Our available flavors are: {}.'.format(display_menu) # now all you have to do is format the menu variable to use the display_menu variable
