A cheque is most certainly a cheque. At least that’s what R&B crooner Ginuwine must have been thinking when signing up to be the face of wholesale discount chain Costco’s new ‘Adult Chocolate Milk’ brand.

Full story after the jump…

The ‘Pony’ singer will now serve as the spokes-model for the vodka-based drink, which has already been at the centre of much controversy. Touted as tasting “exactly like chocolate milk”, the beverage boasts a whopping 40% alcohol level, causing its critics to lament on potential alcohol abuse, particularly by youths.

Nonetheless, Ginuwine-featured billboards for the brand are to be erected on the Las Vegas Strip, with national television commercials currently being readied for transmission in the US more broadly.

Speaking of the shoot, which saw the 35 year old play ‘milkman’, he said: “It was a blast, getting to dress up as a milkman for the day. I really got into character.”{Source}

———————————

Though I understand and respect Elgin’s hustle (“if music ain’t paying them bills…”), it’s still somewhat of a shame. Once billed as the next Bobby Brown, and competing with Usher, it’s now come to this. A point made ultimately worse by the fact that he remains more talented than the majority of those topping charts these days. Sigh

He got into "character" as a "milkman"? Dumbass.

Hes only 35?

Wikipedia says he turns 41 this year.

Wow, that's sad. Last thing we need is another alcoholic drink masquerading and appealing to young folks.

As for him, I never found him special but I thought he'd get further based on his dancing alone.

I mean I don't drink milk because I'm a vegan and it's disgusting to me, but shit, regardless of that, mixing chocolate milk with vodka sounds fucking vile. Which genius came up with that idea?

Ginuwine must really need the cash... and the fact that COSTCO is making it as well, just makes the whole thing ridiculous. WOw.

He's not that talented.

HE's better than Usher.

Same Ol G was the jam!!

People do what they do because they can. Sooo if enough people start from chocolate milk and vodka it may get pulled from the shelves. Either way, Ginuwine got paid for doing what he probably was ask and wanted to do. a Chocolate Milkman...

Actually, yes he is.

I've been grooving the hell out of "The Bachelor" these past few days. I forgot how good that album was

And of course...

I even like his version of When Doves cry.

Why is he snarling his face up like that? Is he lactose intolerant?

He's still around?
