Code works, tested it in Python shell, but not doing it as the challenge requires it. Can you provide correct code?

The code works, but not how Treehouse challenge wants me to. It looks for .join(",") phrase and my code has ",".join() phrase... what am i missing? and can you help how to do the other way? I couldn't get the way the site wants me to.

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

items = ",".join(sundaes) menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(items)

banana.py 
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')

menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(sundaes)
items = ",".join(sundaes)
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(items)

You were sooooo close.

You forgot a space after your comma on your .join ;)
