Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

The makers behind Lay’s Potato Chips have decided to crowdsource their next flavour of crisps in an attempt to garner an innovative combination, with some interesting (and at times disgusting) results.

Some of the slightly more unusual suggestions came after internet users responded to the crisp makers' revival of their ‘do us a flavor' campaign asking people to suggest a new combination.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, some people took the competition a tad less seriously than others, and Twitter has been flooded with #dousaflavor updates.

Some of the stranger creations included toothpaste and orange juice, 'regret', 'the blood of my enemies', ‘3.4 air and the rest is crushed’ and ‘kettle cooked excessive debt’. One user even decided the savoury snack could make the perfect dessert, and chose strawberries and cream as their entry.

Respondents are being offered the chance to win $1million (£614,590) if their combination is chosen as a new official flavour.
