The real thing gets its bottle back
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.

The real thing is back. Glass Coca-Cola bottles in their original shape are returning to Britain for the first time in 20 years.
A brand new 330ml bottle will be on sale in selected bars and clubs during the next few weeks, with distribution widening over the year. A spokeswoman for the company said the move came after research "confirmed that consumers still see drinking from the glass bottle as the 'ultimate' way of enjoying Coca-Cola". The classic bottle was withdrawn from Britain in the Seventies when recycling was not widely available. To celebrate its reappearance, there will be an exhibition at the Design Museum, central London, featuring pictures of famous, and infamous, figures drinking from the Coca-Cola bottle - including the Cuban President, Fidel Castro (above).
