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.
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.
