Keeps telling me that task 1 no longer passes, what did I do wrong?

I've done everything it asks me to do. Why is it not working?

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

Hey John!

The join() method's syntax is wrong. It should be something like this: ', '.join(sundaes). Your code will look something like this:

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