Remember the Maxwell House slogan, Good to the Last Drop? Of course you do, who could forget? Well, it is often claimed that Teddy Roosevelt, in 1907, coined the slogan after the coffee was served to him at the Hermitage, a famous Nashville resort that was originally Andrew Jackson's home.
When Roosevelt walked by the Maxwell House booth, Joel Cheek thrust a cup of his coffee at the President â who promptly drained it in one gulp. Setting down the empty cup, Roosevelt turned to the people around him and declared that this coffee was âgood to the last dropâ â thus giving Maxwell House Coffee this 99-year-old advertising slogan, that helps sell it to this day.
