Raised error message Did you use `.join(", ")`?

which none is correct ",".join(list) or list.join(",")? How come this error message? I've checked my code, but it seems nothing wrong.

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

Your code is correct, what seems to be annoying the Code Challenge is the missing space after the comma; so the last line would be like this.

      menu ="Our available flavors are: {}".format(",  ".join(sundaes))

Note the space after the comma to join Sundaes. This way each item will be separated with not only a comma but also a space. These things are pretty easy to miss.
