    I saw a doco a few years ago about a company that made dart boards. They were in grave danger of going out of business as people don't play at home anymore and therefore don't buy the boards.

    One of the staff went to China for a holiday and noticed they didn't have darts over there. So the company sent some reps over with darts and boards and the chinese loved the game. It saved the company and they ended up making more dart boards than they did before the decline of darts in this country.
