Maxwell House changing its name to Maxwell Apartment?
I thought it was April Fools or The Onion but no.
Im still holding out hope it’s a joke.
This has to be one of the great marketing blunders like Cracker Barrel or Bud Lite.
Maxwell House is not even named after customer dwellings. It’s named after the restaurant and hotel in Nashville.

It is a special offer gimmick for a short period sale.

"Maxwell House is doing some downsizing. For a limited time, it’s changing its name to Maxwell Apartment.
Just in time for National Coffee Day, the coffee brand owned by the Kraft Heinz Company announced that while supplies last, it’s selling a year’s supply of its specially packaged coffee for just $40 on Amazon—or what it’s calling a 12-month “lease.” It’s the same exact coffee—only cheaper, at about 10 cents less per ounce. (It also has a new name for the first time in 133 years.)"
