The subject of this post is a peculiar association of Maxwell House with Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt. 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.
Pendergrast, in his book, doubts that Roosevelt ever said those words. However, the company itself claimed differently in advertisements.
