Python Python Basics (2015) Python Data Types Use .split() and .join()

How do I fix error: "It looks like Was 1 is no longer passing"?

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

Would you be able to point at my mistake? Thank you.

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

# you are re-writing the variable, when it is already stored
#in a variable, you could do like
