Alright, let's finish making our menu. Combine the sundaes list into a new variable named display_menu, where each item in the list is rejoined together by a comma and a space (", "). Then reassign the menu variable to use the existing variable and .format() to replace the placeholder with the new string in display_menu. If you're really brave, you can even accomplish this all on the same line where menu is currently being set.
this is the challenge
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes=available.split(';')
menu=Our available flavors are: {}.format(display_menu)
display_menu=', '.join(sundaes)

Don't worry, I fell into the same trap - each previous step is add a new line to the bottom, so you get in the habit of it.
Actually here it's asking you to add a new variable before menu and then change what's in menu ;)
If that hint isn't help enough let me know :)
