bennies
Uppers from Benzedrine
Bennies is slang for benefits, especially employee benefits like health insurance or paid leave: The pay isn't great, but the bennies are solid.
In older slang, bennies referred to amphetamine pills, particularly Benzedrine, used as stimulants: Truckers popped bennies to stay awake on long hauls.
