Flood of Fun-Hungry Applicants Causes Butterfinger(R) to End Search for
'FUNterns' Four Days After Posting

GLENDALE, Calif., June 26 /PRNewswire/ -- "Fun" appears to be the key buzzword
for hungry summer job seekers. Butterfinger today announced that its
nationwide search for four FUNterns - digital dudes and/or divas who want to
get paid to tweet, text, post, vlog, blip, flickr, digg and more - has
officially closed more than three weeks early due to an unprecedented
response.

"Over the last four days, Butterfinger has received five times the number of
applications typically seen for internship positions," said FUNternship
recruiter Tricia Bowles, spokesperson for Nestle Confections & Snacks. "The
overwhelming interest in this one-of-a-kind summer job is proof that
Butterfinger has its 'finger' on the pulse of what excites web 3.0 job seekers
in today's virtual workplace."

Don't Call Us, We'll Call You
The Butterfinger Marketing Team will now review the hundreds of applicants'
resumes, cover letters, social media prowess and technical skills to find
FUNterns in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago and New York. The final four will
be announced on July 6th at Facebook.com/Butterfinger.

What's So Sweet About the BUTTERFINGER FUNternship?
With flexible hours (only about 15 per week - allowing you to sleep in, play,
or even hold another job) and creative freedom (show us something cool we
haven't already seen), the BUTTERFINGER FUNternship is the ultimate paid gig
for a girl or guy on the go and in the social media know. Six weeks of summer
fun, $1,000, and a year's supply of the crispety, crunchety, peanut-buttery
Butterfinger candy bars will fuel the FUNterns as they earn bucks for their
bytes.
