you only need one join. once the flavors are joined with comma and space, they don't need to be joined again. also you don't need parens around the delimiter that join is called on.

menu = "Our available flavors are : "

display_menu = menu + ", ".join(sundaes) print(display_menu) Our available flavors are : banana split, hot fudge, cherry, malted, black and white

this is what i did in idle and isn't this roughly the answer ?
