Great way to get 40% of your dietary fiber needs in one go. Quick, simple, tasty.
Cons: The high fiber stuff never has a toy in the package.

Power of Salesforce at a fraction of the cost. Loads of bells and whistles like email marketing, project management, support ticketing. Great Social CRM tool.
Cons: Not well known.

Brought the suit vest back into fashion. Really shows how a mega star can be part of the film and not become the film.
Cons: Somewhat cheesy ending.

The sweet and spicy sauce and the melted cheese make for a nice winter treat.
Cons: Not as cheap or healthy as Banh Mi.

Great advice if you work in an office. Always treat the receptionist like the most important person in the company. She is usually tapped into the office buzz and can raise your personal stock!
Cons: How can you lord it over people if you're going around being nice to 'em?

You get to sleep in on Sundays. You can act good because it betters the lives around you, not out of fear of hell fire.
Cons: Most would rather their daughters marry a member of the Taliban than an atheist. You're one of the few minorities people feel they have a moral right to hate.

Fair, indepth reporting, not tainted by American culture wars. Great foreign perspective on issues.
Cons: Like NPR, not comfy with a tax payer funded media.

Sober, balanced economic and political reporting. Inexpensive cover price compared to other magazines. Loads of reading. Capable of not taking itself too seriously (cf the Big Mac Index).
Cons: Way too many depressing cover pictures of starving Africans and not enough pictures of a grinning Steve Jobs. C'mon people.

A great way to shut up your friends who claim food is never spicy enough. Under the killer spice is an interesting smokey flavor.
Cons: About the hottest thing you'll ever put in your mouth. Take a bite. Drink a glass of water. Take a bite. Drink a glass of water.

The high rent district on the north side of the river. The beautiful people live here.
Cons: Rents are high. Don't expect much of a place. All those hot, hot women? They're looking for a young Samsung executive track Korean. Not a burned out teacher type.

Unlimited storage. Simple interface. You can open multiple emails in different tabs.
Cons: Adding files requires you to jump to another page and then jump back to your email. The spam filter doesn't appear to be the best of breed.

Cheap. About 50 cents. Sweet.
Cons: Kind of sticks to your teeth. Not great for those with fillings.

Probably the most western styled town in Korea. Lots of english speaking Koreans as it's a burb for doctors, engineers, professors, etc.
Cons: A long subway ride into Seoul proper. Few single women as this is a bedroom community.

Funny, knowledgeable hosts, interesting guests, lots of variety, comes out every week without fail. It's the skeptical/scientific podcast that blazed the trail for all the rest.
Cons: Could have on more "true believer" guests. With 30,000 listeners, odds your email question getting answered is about 1/30,000.

Many, many opinions on a wide range of products and services.
Cons: Alas I tend to consult this site after I made a purchase, seeking confirmation I made a good buy.

Modern country. Excellent public transit. Great shopping, restaurants, modern buildings, and beautiful women. Safe. Lots of historical sites.
Cons: Expensive food, hotels, and transit. Outside of tourist areas hard to get by in English.

If you like spicy food, this is a nice filling snack. It's spicy and sweet. You also get a helping of veg and fish/egg in a bowl.
Cons: If you don't like spicy snacks, you probably won't like this. Quality varies a lot.
mindme recommended this 3 years, 11 months ago
Really not as bad as it looks. A tasty fish product. You can have it on a stick or cut up as a side dish. It's cheap and probably low in calories.
Cons: If you buy it as street meat, don't use the dipping sauce. Koreans are double and quadruple dippers. Lord knows what's swimming around in the public dipping sauce.

Also wrote a number of interesting non Dune books worth reading. Dune itself is one of those books many put down before 100 pages. If you can get past page 100 you'll be hooked.
Cons: His son sadly continued the series and pretty much ruined it. He and Kevin J Anderson have turned it into a Star Wars serial novel biz. Ugg. Just ugg.

You'll hate yourself if you don't try this. Considered by Koreans a healthy snack as it's of Korean origin. No, really. Goes great with honey mustard.
Cons: Very few things in Korea are not considered complimented by a squeezing of honey mustard. So that's not much of a pro.
