trouble completing .split() and .join() challenge

at the third task, with no alterations to the previous two, it says the first task is no longer passing. I seem to be able to achieve the goal of the challenge in the treehouse workspace with the code used

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

you are actually using join backwards and the error shows up as a message that an earlier task is no longer passing. join is called on the delimiting string with the collection to be joined as the argument, so ', '.join(myCollection). then, you just need to reassign menu to what you have on the last line.
