The folks from Butterfinger Buzz, a new caffeinated version of the candy bar, want to give you $100. You just need to get a buzz cut on February 12 and have the company's logo spray-painted on your head. The first 25 who do it will get a $100 giftcard. (You'll also be eligible for more prizes.) Hosts promise the orange color will wash out in time for Valentine's Day. Check Slowdown for more details.
