I can't figure out why my code isn't working for this challenge...

Whenever I get to step 3, it kicks back that step 2 is no longer passing. Note that I am trying to do the method that combines all the needed code in one line for step 3.

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

The instructions for step 2 are: Make a new variable named menu that's set to "Our available flavors are: {}.".

In step 3, you no longer have the variable named menu. You must keep this variabiale.

Thanks Christopher! Makes sense...it's giving me the error because I tried to change that line's variable name to display_menu. Appreciate the help! J
