The creation of x is not quite right. The string method join() must operation on a string. It takes a list as an argument. The items of the list are joined using the value of the string as a connector. In this case, you "connector string" is a comma and a space: "," and the argument is the list sundaes

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