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

The fast food chain will be launching its Grinch Meal beginning December 2, which will include the new Dill Pickle \u201cGrinch Salt\u201d McShaker Fries. The fries come in a bag with a side of dill pickle seasoning, allowing the customer to decide how sour they want the dish to be.<\/p>\n
Each meal will come with either a Big Mac or 10-piece chicken nuggets in addition to the special fries, a medium-sized drink and one pair of Grinch and McDonald\u2019s themed socks, which will be available in either red, green, blue or yellow.<\/p>\n
Prices vary based on the McDonald\u2019s location.<\/p>\n
The Grinch Meal was offered in both Canada and Australia last year, likely prompting the move to U.S. menus this year.<\/p>\n

First added to menus in 1999, Holiday Pie uses the same crust as the apple pie that is available year-round, but has a custard filling, topped with a sugar glaze and mini rainbow sprinkles. <\/p>\n
The holiday menu items were added to the menus after it was revealed earlier this month that the fast food chain saw a boost in sales after the re-release of the McDonald\u2019s Snack Wrap. <\/p>\n
McDonald\u2019s has also taken advantage of various promotions to draw in customers. The new Extra Value Menu boasted an $8 Big Mac meal or a $5 Sausage McMuffin meal for a limited time.<\/p>\n
The company also brought back its popular Monopoly game on October 6, allowing players to use the chain\u2019s app and opt in to its rewards program to potentially earn prizes. Fans were able to play after ordering qualifying menu items through the start of November.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
