Not sure what I'm doing wrong here?

Says Task one failed.

Thought reassigning the menu value with .format(display_menu) would be correct.

Or... So I thought.

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

Hi There I fixed your code

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

so Join is a string method. also third line and forth line have to switch because display_menu has to be declared first .
