1. “Just Do It.” The famous Nike slogan came from a rather unlikely source - spree killer Gary Gilmore, who received the death penalty for murdering two people in Utah in July, 1976. Just before a firing squad did their duty, Gilmore was asked if he had any last words. “Let’s do it,” he simply said.

2. “Good to the Last Drop.” Maxwell House has a pretty neat story for this one. They claim that while Teddy Roosevelt was visiting Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage in 1907, he insisted on taking a cup of coffee where Old Hickory once enjoyed his meals, saying, “I must have the privilege of saying that I have eaten at General Jackson's table.”

Finally, though Maxwell House started using the “good to the last drop” slogan in print ads around 1917, they waited until long after Roosevelt was dead before they started using his name and image in their ads. 3. “A Diamond is Forever.” I wish I was one of those people who went to bed with a problem and woke up with the solution in my head.

The president was en route back to Washington from a hunting trip in Mississippi when on Oct. 22, 1907, he spent a few hours in Nashville. Roosevelt gave the Hermitage ladies his backing for a federal appropriation for their project to restore the Jackson mansion. The ladies gave him a cup of coffee. A marketing legend was born: The hostess asked him if he would have another cup of Maxwell House Coffee. ''Will I have another? Delighted! It's good to the last drop!'' Writer Bill Carey, a former Tennessean reporter, questions in his recent book on Nashville business history whether the coffee Roosevelt was served was in fact Maxwell House, let alone whether the comment was real.

A few tidbits about Maxwell House – A Nashville Banner article from 1907 quoted Teddy Roosevelt as saying of that famous cup of coffee: “This is the kind of stuff I like to drink, by George, when I hunt bears.” Nothing about “good to the last drop.” Though maybe that phrase didn’t sound as quotable back then. Regardless, it was a big deal to have the president enjoying your brand of coffee, and in the days after Roosevelt’s visit, three different coffee companies in Nashville ran ads in the Banner claiming it was their java, not Maxwell House’s, that Teddy liked.
