Python Basics - Joining and Splitting question

Hi, I'm working on this python challenge and I feel like there are no errors in my code but every time I try to submit it tells me that 'It looks like task 1 is no longer passing'. This doesn't make any sense because the only requirement for task one was to make a variable called 'sundaes' which split the 'available' variable by the semicolons.

Any help is appreciated!

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 = menu.format(display_menu)

Well, it could be that you are using the join-method wrong. The correct way to use it would be something like this : 

display_menu = ", ".join(sundaes)
