“”The owners of Maxwell House are making a stupid joke of their own name. I hope they get taken to the cleaners on their sales.””

I suspect that whatever Einstein came up with the name change at Maxwell House is secretly working for Folgers.

You can put Maxwell House “coffee” back in the horse.

No one I know ever believed the word “House” in Maxwell House was referring to their own personal home - whether a house or otherwise

Of course not. But the brand is moribund compared to its former status. People are talking about it.

While I understand that it was a funny show, I never watched it. But others will probably understand. 😁🤙

“””Teddy Roosevelt enjoyed the coffee at Nashville’s Maxwell House Hotel and proclaimed it “Good to the last drop” - as the story goes. “”””

Thank you. As the saying goes, I learn something new every day.

I can’t wait to see the LGBQWERTY mixed-race couple in the TV and print ads.

What? This has got to be a joke.

Some of the more radical members of the Maxwell House board declared that the male dominance reflected in the old name has got to go.   The replacement name they are putting forward is "Maxine 'House' Waters".

We're getting to full circle now:

Alcoholics Anonymous is semi-stealth using signage fronting some of their meeting places saying "Our House", with their triangular symbol.

(I, too, thought it was an Illuminati lair)

What can you find in every one of them?

Bibles, anti-addiction literature and...Endless Free Coffee!
