    On April 1, 2008, Nestle announced that it was changing the name of the product to "The Finger," based on negative consumer testing of the original product name. A corresponding video shows a Nestle U.S.A. spokesperson explaining the decision and reveals footage of the new candy bar in production. The spokesperson says that "The Finger" will retain Butterfinger's "crispity, crunchity, peanut buttery taste."
