I think you over-thought this question.

All you need to do is:

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = sundaes.join(", ")
display_menu = "Our available flavors are: {}".format(menu)
  1. First I split the available variable by semi-colons and assign that to a variable called sundaes.
  2. Next, I join the elements in sundaes by separating by ", " and assign that value to menu.
  3. Last, I add the message "Our available flavors are: " to the beginning of menu and assign that to the final variable display_menu.

I hope you understand what's going on :)

Good luck! ~alex
