Good day,

This one can be tricky, but the instructor gives the quick way to do it around the 4:30 mark. You had most of it, but the simplest way is taking menu, and simply concatenate it with a comma, and the join function, with the sundae list as the parameter, or input.

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

sundaes = available.split(';')

menu = 'Our available flavors are: ' + ', '.join(sundaes)

I hope this helps out!
