Triumph have done some gooduns.
Theres the Speed Tin which sounds like a druggies stash.
Or the Bourneville which is very tasty.
Not to mention the Gay Toner or the dead and buried Atrophy.

落雷 らくらい/rakurai is lightning bolt, literally means for lightning to come down.

That's close enough for me to claim it as a win. Pub rules.
