“Independence” is a variety puzzle!

No, “Independence” is a cryptic puzzle!

It’s two, two, two puzzles in one!

(Anyone remember the reference?)

Another fun variety cryptic from HEX!

That was a great puzzle! Got stuck on a couple of grid answers, but once I figured out the shaded squares the remaining answers eventually came.

I remember the advertising jingle, though I remember it as "two, two, two [X] in one"), but I did have to google to recall the exact product.
