Legend has it that in 1907 President Teddy Roosevelt visited Maxwell House, the prestigious Nashville hotel and after finishing a cup of their namesake coffee, he declared it was, good to the last drop.. At least that is what Maxwell House Coffee Company advertised in 1920. While legends are romantic they are rarely accurate.
In 1915 Cheek-Neal began using a Good to the last drop slogan to advertise their Maxwell House Coffee. The advertisements claimed that former President Theodore Roosevelt had taken a sip of Maxwell House Coffee, and proclaimed it to be good to the last drop. Coca-Cola also used the slogan Good to the last drop. For several years, Cheek-Neal ads made no mention of Roosevelt as the phrase's originator. Maxwell House distanced itself from its original claim, admitting that the slogan was written by Clifford Spiller, former president of General Foods Corporation, and did not come from a Roosevelt remark overheard by Cheek-Neal.
