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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n

According to Tesco\u2019s annual Clubcard Unpacked report, the energy drink has claimed the top beverage spot for the first time. This comes as the Chicken Club Sandwich continues its reign as the nation\u2019s favourite main, and the Protein Egg Pot secures its position as the preferred snack for a second consecutive year.<\/p>\n
However, the report also uncovers notable regional variations in customer choices across the country. In Scotland, Wales, and the North West of England, the Just Ham Sandwich proved to be the top pick for Clubcard members. Shoppers in Yorkshire and Humber, by contrast, favoured the Smoked Ham and Mature Cheddar sub.<\/p>\n
Snack preferences also diverged significantly. While the Egg Protein Pot remained the overall favourite, both the East of England and the South West showed a clear preference for Hula Hoops BBQ Beef Big Hoops. Further regional distinctions saw Scotland opting for a McCoy\u2019s Salt & Vinegar Grab Bag, and Wales choosing the McCoy\u2019s Grilled Steak Grab Bag.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, London is the only place in the UK where the banana is the most popular product bought by Clubcard members.<\/p>\n
In every other region in the UK, milk was the most commonly bought item.<\/p>\n
Tesco Group membership and loyalty director Shama Wilson said: \u201c2025 has been a landmark year for Clubcard as we celebrated its 30th anniversary with the 24 million UK households who have a Clubcard membership.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom Londoners who can\u2019t get enough bananas to our Welsh customers who love a packet of McCoy\u2019s Grilled Steak crisps, this year\u2019s Clubcard Unpacked shines a light on the trends and in-vogue flavours across the UK.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
