Let's add a new string variable for displaying our menu items.

Make a new variable named menu that's set to "Our available flavors are: {}.".

available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(';')
menu = 'Our available flavours are: ' + ', '.join(sundaes)

Hi,

The challenge forces you to use the format method for string formatting:

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

Otherwise, even though, it is the same output, it won't work.

I hope it helps.

Many thanks. Have a nice weekend
