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.
Maxwell House Coffee's successful slogan, Good to the last drop was historically credited to the 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt. The folklore claims that during Roosevelt's visit in Nashville in 1907, he was served Maxwell House coffee. So impressed with the coffee, the president apparently said the famous words. There is no historical evidence to indicate this is true. Furthermore, Maxwell House did not credit the President uttering these words until after his death.
