Did anyone catch this April fool's joke from Butterfinger?

Someone's hand holding a Butterfinger candy bar.

Did anyone else catch this joke? I know it's a few days late, but I just came across it and I don't remember seeing it on any other food blogs. This is actually pretty funny, and I wish I had seen it in time for the actual day in question.

I found a press release that claimed that Nestle's Butterfinger bar was changing its name to the Finger, effective immediately. I didn't even notice the date of the press release until later, but I wondered to myself if this wasn't a late April fool's joke. Nope, it was a right-on-time joke.

Anyway, check this out for the whole joke. Hopefully you'll laugh as much as I did, even if it is a little late.

Nestle's new Stixx

Nestle has just introduced a series of lower-calorie candy bars called Stixx. Named because of their crunch and their shape, these candies have a crisp wafer structure, candy creme center and chocolate coating. They are available in Butterfinger, Nestle Crunch and Nestle Crunch Dark. The Butterfinger version has a Butterfinger-flavored creme center, while the Crunch flavors have milk and dark chocolate crèmes. Each package contains six individually wrapped “stixx”, which have only 90 calories and 3-4 grams of fat each, depending on the particular variety you choose, making each of the flavors a great snack option when you want to sneak a little candy into your afternoon. That's less than half the fat and calories of most candy bars! The newly-released chocolates might be hard to find at the moment, but they'll show up soon at grocery or convenience stores.
