Heavenly Coffee (Not Chock Full O’ Nuts?)
Chock Full O' Nuts is the heavenly coffee? Who decided on that?

I don't want to disturb the heavens - good heavens, no - but the Chock Full O' Nuts "Heavenly Coffee" trademark has a first use of July 1, 1953.

A Nescafe ad mentioned "heavenly coffee" in 1950. Instant Maxwell House ads mentioned "heavenly coffee" in 1951.

10 September 1950, Los Angeles Times, pg. I2:
MRS. BROWN, YOU'RE AN ANGEL! IMAGINE...SUCH HEAVENLY COFFEE WITHOUT THE FUSS OF BREWING!
(Nescafe ad - ed.)

21 November 1951, Los Angeles Times, pg. B3:
Still, this "heavenly" coffee is so budget-wise...save me up to 25c compared to a pound of old-fashioned ground coffee. So insist on INSTANT MAXWELL HOUSE when you buy...comes in the read and white jar with the stars on top!

7 December 1951, Los Angeles Times, pg. B2:
So, for heavenly coffee at a down-to-earth price, reach for the stars...always get the red and white jar with the stars on the top!
