Bring back... Arctic roll
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.Children have been reared and placated on Arctic Roll as a staple part of school dinners for decades.

"Although it has some loyal fans, Arctic Roll sales have dropped by 50 per cent over the past [ten years]," said a spokesman. "Since the Sixties, when Arctic Roll was introduced, the frozen desserts market has changed dramatically ... consumers are now being offered much more choice."
But no fancier pudding will replace the image of the 32-tier spiral belt which froze 2.5 tons of Arctic Rolls an hour, or end the childhood fantasy of eating 2.5 tons of Arctic Roll in one go.
