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.

Chocolate fanatics are heartbroken after Nestlé recently announced it is discontinuing its iconic Caramac bar.

After more than 60 years as a staple on confectionary shelves, Nestlé dealt the blow, leading one Caramac obsessive to stockpile the treats.

“So it’s a sad day, it’s official, there will be no more Caramac bars off the production line, it’s been cancelled so I bought as many boxes as I could,” they wrote on Twitter/X.

“They should last a while (I hope) but once they are gone, there will be no more caramac eclairs! And no caramilk or Milkybar gold are not the same!!! #dontcancelmycaramac”

It’s not the first (and it probably won’t be the last) time a popular chocolate bar has been snatched from under our noses.

Other favourites consigned to history include Mars Delight bars, Time Outs and Cadbury’s Snow Flake. May they rest in peace.

Was it fair to axe Caramac? Or are there other chocolate bars out there you’d rather see get the chop?
