Starbucks cup left in scene of ‘Game of Thrones’ — VIDEO
From the Louvre in Paris to the super-secret CIA headquarters, it seems that coffee connoisseurs can grab a cup of Starbucks coffee almost anywhere in the world nowadays.
A few eagle-eyed “Game of Thrones” viewers noticed on Sunday night that the same is true for those who survived the Battle of Winterfell.
According to Vulture, in the fourth episode of the final season of “Game of Thrones” a rogue Starbucks coffee cup is seen at 17:39 during a scene with Dany, Jon, Tormund and others. The cup appears to sit off to the side of Emilia Clarke’s character, Daenerys Targaryen.
In a statement from HBO released late Monday, the organization addressed the coffee cup controversy by saying, “The latte that appeared in the episode was a mistake. Daenerys had ordered an herbal tea.”
Of course, Twitter users had a field day once the Starbucks cup was pointed out.
TBH we're surprised she didn't order a Dragon Drink.
