Having a little trouble with this code challenge. Any advise?

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

sundaes = available.split(';')

menu = "Our available flavors are: {}" 

display_menu = sundaes.join(', ')

You got the right content, but the data is all mixed up and put in the wrong places.

Try this:

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

sundaes = available.split(';')

menu = sundaes.join(', ')

display_menu = "Our available flavors are: {}".format(menu)

I hope this helps. ~Alex

Alex,

This is not the correct answer. I've typed it in, looked it over, and eventually even just copied and pasted it.
