available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"

Greg,

There are a few things wrong here. The "{}" is a place holder for you to fill in using .format. If you want to solve this challenge in one line you would write the string as "our available flavors are: {}." and then format that string to insert the joined sundaes.

Try this:

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