This week, Perks is bringing you half off your next gourmet burger delivery from BuiltBurger, the
Seattle-based innovators of all things ground beef. (Mind-blowing flavors like Sriracha and
Gruyère are just the beginning...) Plus: choose from three dopp kits from eShave, designed
exclusively for UD readers, featuring their all-natural products and handmade razors, for 40% off. Your five
o’clock shadow has been warned.
It’s Sunday. You’re not in your best shape. You have vague memories of an overly generous bartender, a
heated discussion about socialism and two guys named Cheech. You need first aid, preferably in Bloody Mary

help: Demitri’s, which solves your dilemma with a brilliant bacon salt made for just such an occasion.
Thank you, Demitri.
In a way, Mad Men is a super-effective commercial for smoking, womanizing and, of course,
mid-century design. And now, the actual furniture from the show is being auctioned on eBay—so you can
enjoy Sterling Cooper’s old curtains, desks or even a dress worn by Joan. If you know someone who can fill

to Tucson. That’s where a team of furniture restorers—basically, the Hells Angels of
refrigeration—painstakingly labors over fridges to make them good as... old. You may have seen their
handiwork in Benjamin Button; no word on if their products also get newer as you get older.
It happens: you’re in the market for a streamlined, 450-horsepower machine capable of going zero to 60 in
four seconds or less, and you don’t want to even be reminded that slower vehicles exist. The solution:
this site, which will hook you up with dealers selling only such beasts. To be clear: car dealers.
Sometimes, you have a rare opportunity to own a piece of literary history. Other times, you just have the
chance to own a famous writer’s commode. This is one of those other times. What you do with this
information is up to you, but we’ll leave you with a warning: it hasn’t been cleaned. Who says he
didn’t produce any great works.
