I’m Stuck On This Problem and I Don’t Know What I Did Wrong! I thoughtI did It Exactly Right!

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

You should reassign menu to the new formatted menu:

menu = menu.format(display_menu)
