Task 1 no longer passing

Tasks 1 and 2 are working fine on their own but then on Task 3 (joining the sundaes list and displaying it), Task 1 no longer works? Any help would be appreciated

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

display_menu = sundaes.join(", ")
menu.format(display_menu)

Hi there, the display_menu syntax is slightly wrong, should look like:

display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes)

then you have assign the output to menu:

menu = menu.format(display_menu)

Hopefully that will be correct - didnt test :)
