From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.It’s the definition of smelling good enough to eat – a fragrance that evokes the scent of a freshly-cooked flame-grilled Whopper.
That’s right, if you live in Japan you will soon have the chance to spritz yourself with eau de Burger King.
Next month customers will be able to buy a bottle of "Flame-Grilled" perfume, which comes with a Whopper on the side, at stores across the country.
Expect a strong beefy smell with notes of lettuce, mayonnaise, onions and tomato; accessorise with a dress or tux - and fries.
Costing 5,000 yen (£27), the perfume is in the same price range as many a popular celebrity fragrance. It comes in a clear bottle with a gold and faux-crystal top.
But many people may find themselves disappointed as the limited offer is on for one day only and, you guessed it, that day is 1 April.
