Task One: No Longer Passing?

Why isn't task one passing?

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

You are just about right! The problem lies in the use of the join method on line 3.

The method is used on 'sundaes' which is a sequence, when it instead is supposed to be used on a string. Change it to ", ".join(sundaes) and your code will work just fine!
