No Name is one of the names used for the energy drink that was formerly known as Cocaine. The drink has a very high caffeine content at about 33 mg/fl oz or 1120 mg/L (compared to Monster at 10 and 340 respectively and Red Bull at 9.6 and 321 respectively).

After consumer advocate groups spoke out against the name of the drink they pulled the drink from public sale and renamed it. It has also gone by "Insert Name Here" among others.
