I'm getting the message "Oops, it looks like task 1 is no longer working" but when I go back to task one it is correct.

I'm struggling with this specific question and don't know why, please help.

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

Hey Benjamin, Couple things: 3rd line is looking for display_menu when formatting the string, but you aren't defining display menu until 4th line. Need to move that above the menu = line. Also, your join is backwards. Should read ", ".join(sundaes)

Hope that helps.
