The question fails as you can see in this screenshot: http://imgur.com/a/YVqBH however run the same thing in console and it works and i think this is what the question is asking. >> http://imgur.com/a/gS1Zg
available = "banana split;hot fudge;cherry;malted;black and white"
sundaes = available.split(";")
menu = "Our available flavors are: {}."
display_menu = menu.format(", ".join(sundaes))

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 33,271 Pointsyou are not doing exactly what the challenge is asking for. the final answer should be assigned to menu, not display_menu. display_menu is an intermediate step.

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

16,295 PointsRead the directions carefully... 1."Combine the sundaes list into a new variable named display_menu, where each item in the list is rejoined together by a comma and a space (", ")" 2."Then reassign the menu variable to use the existing variable and .format()" You're on the right track, and yes your code will output the correct string, but you're not exactly doing what he asks.
Great job though, I hope I helped without giving you the answer
