It looks like you're getting ahead of yourself here and trying to solve a more difficult challenge than the one that is being asked. For part 2 of the challenge you simply need to create the variable menu with the exact string that it tells you to:

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

In part 3, you'll then be asked to do something using the .format() method.
