18,024 Points"available" is a string that can be split up by the semicolon ";" that separates the words in the string.
sundaes = available.split(';')
Above we have used the split function to split the string with the semicolon. The output is a list of each word.
print(sundaes)
['banana split', 'hot fudge', 'cherry', 'malted', 'black and white']
