Hey Alex,

try checking the syntax of the join() method. It works the other way around. Your code should 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)
