i cant seem to figure it out.

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

Eduardo, you are close. Combine your last two lines:

# from this
menu = "our available flavors are: {}.".format(sundaes)
sundaes + (", ").join(menu)

# to this
menu = "our available flavors are: {}.".format(", ".join(sundaes))
