1978 Maxwell House Coffee commercial from the UK and Ireland featuring David Niven
Maxwell House is a brand of coffee manufactured by a like-named division of Kraft Foods. Introduced in 1892, it is named in honour of the Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. For many years until the late 1980s it was the largest-selling coffee in the U.S. and is currently (ca. 2007) second behind Folgers, which is manufactured by The J.M. Smucker Co. The company recently unveiled a new slogan, “Good Just Got Great,” visible on their website. However, it is best known for its long-time slogan, “Good to the last drop,” and is still running ads featuring the line.

1978 Birds Dream Topping
Published December 28, 2010 | 
1978 Birds Dream Topping advert from the UK
The ingredients for this “dessert topping mix with sweetener” from Kraft Foods read like a chemistry textbook, but Kraft craftily makes use of a somewhat ersatz formulation: “Contains a source of phenylalanine for vegetarians,” the label says. Look up phenylalanine – is it a warning or a recommendation? – and it turns out to be both. Phenylalanine is a constituent of the controversial artificial sweetener, aspartame. But it’s a good one; an essential amino acid that can’t be made by the body and needs to be supplied in the diet. So good old Dream Topping is good for you. Sort of.

1978 advert for Philadelphia Cheese .
Cream cheese (also called soft cheese) is a sweet, soft, mild-tasting, white cheese, defined by the US Department of Agriculture as containing at least 33% milkfat (as marketed) with a moisture content of not more than 55%, and a pH range of 4.4 to 4.9.
Cream cheese is not naturally matured and is meant to be consumed fresh, and so it differs from other soft cheeses such as Brie and Neufchâtel. It is more comparable in taste, texture, and production methods to Boursin and Mascarpone.
