Not sure!

Which part am I doing wrong? I'm kinda fuzzy on how joins and formats work now

banana.py 
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white" 

sundaes = available.split(";")

menu = "Our available flavors are: {}.".format(whatspoppinintomamouth)

whatspoppinintomamouth = sundaes.join(", ")

Hi, Instead of writing the code, i will try to give you hints :-) Your sundaes variable will hold a list. ie ['banana split', 'hot fudge', 'cherry', 'malted', 'black and white'] Try using format on print instead of the menu variable.Also if you intend to print all items in the list use a for loop. 'whatspoppinintomamouth' is defined at the end of the program, this will fail as it is already referenced in the previous line. in my opinion you don't need them.
