Use .split() to break the available string apart on the semi-colons (;). Assign this to a new variable sundaes.

Hi Alex,

Here's a link on how to use the split() method in python. In any case, here's the solution:

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