Usual suspects include Carex, seabrook crisps, Yazoo milkshake, and problem some frozen food items.

Not sure if any of these are still valid. I imagine more will come when we get to March.

Most of the recent ones that were released last year expire end of June this year - I have a Kelloggs one that states 30th June 2023.

But go careful with places like pound shops, B&M & The Range etc as they often have older stock of the non-perishable goods. I spotted in The Range last September that it had Carex soap with the offer but they were valid until June last year.
 
They were on Cadbury Selection Boxes at Christmas and are on the new in Cadbury pouches now. Not on Yazoo at the moment but this will likely change soon. Normally, the usual Kellogg's, Yazoo, Seabrook's and Carex Merlin stock starts rolling in February. Will vary by retailer though depending on how new their stock is.

I think we can expect to see more tie-ins with Cadbury seeing as Merlin is now running Cadbury World and has the UK rights to use its name.
 
I've been to Alton towers a few times over the last few years.

Between the castle and x sector there is a music continuously played and it resembles a heroic theme.

I lost my old phone as I recorded this music a few times over various areas of this section as I was sitting on the bench with the view of the castle walls and the grassy bank and walking towards x sector and through the castle walkway I continuously here this heroic, star wars music being played and the last times I came to this particular section of the park.

I've tried searching on YouTube.

Can anyone kindly guide me to this song name please?
 
Have you tried listening to the IMAScore Alton Towers sound track? It has music from the park

Somehow, I question if we will. Cadbury’s dominance at Merlin parks happened heavily in the Tussauds days and in the few years prior to Merlin’s takeover we saw a few disappear. With brands like Nitrogenie appearing in parks (even though they’re not chocolate), it’s become clear that Merlin like to promote a cheaper brand, albeit healthier. We must also remember that Cadbury is now owned by the American company Mondolez, who may not be as willing to put big Cadbury stalls in the parks.

Cadbury only disappeared from the park as Merlin signed a deal with Nestle. Now that Cadbury are back as sponsors/suppliers, I can't imagine why cross-promotion wouldn't begin again, nor can I see why Mondolez would be unwilling to hawk the brand wherever and as visibly as possible?

Undoubtedly owing to my nineties childhood visiting the park and the anticipation of a visit to the Chocolate House, but Cadbury always felt right for Alton Towers, in a way that Nestle didn't. Although, hardly a dealbreaker in the grand scheme of things.
