I can't understand why Geico needs three spokes-whatevers. They have a gecko, the cavemen, and now this musical pile of money with googly eyes. It really makes me wonder about a company that has so much overexposure.
The closest I can recall to something like this was the old Adohr Farms delivery. You would get your milk from them, and they also offered buttermilk, chocolate milk, cream, etc.. That was good. But like the old Helms Bakery trucks that delivered fresh bread, cakes, doughnuts, etc., to you, they fell victim to housewives not wanting to wait for the breadman or milkman to deliver, and there were getting to be more grocery stores in reach--in my neck of the woods, anyway, back then. So the next thing you know, Adohr Farms is offering lotion, orange juice, dog food, etc., even bread. That, for me, was really confusing. Anyway, that's what helped kill off both Adohr Farms home delivery and Helms Bakery. They just stretched themselves too thin.
And yes, I occaisonally see Adohr Farms milk sold in stores.
