Defying the Ratings?

At the moment I only have a couple of Must See television programmes, and typically one of them must be suffering from poor viewing figures because it's being moved from Thursday primetime to something of a pre-graveyard slot on a Saturday evening.

I seem to have suffered from liking-the-wrong-stuff throughout my life, and have grown accustomed to seeing products I think are super-ace disappearing without trace.

It all started with the Minty Top Ten (a chocolate & nut coated mint-flavoured ice cream on a stick) when I was about thirteen. This was introduced as a variant on the original Top Ten chocolate ice cream version and was truly awesome. At least I thought so, but apparently no-one else did because after a month or so it vanished from the store freezers and that was that.

I've noticed someone has also nominated the minty Top Ten as their favourite long-lost ice cream on a Woman & Home forum - so maybe it's time for the manufacturers to have second thoughts?
