Somehow a Starbucks coffee cup appeared on 'Game of Thrones'
UPDATE: May 6, 2019, 5:38 p.m. EDT HBO commented on the Starbucks cup! And great news: we're LEANING IN.
News from Winterfell.
The latte that appeared in the episode was a mistake. #Daenerys had ordered an herbal tea. pic.twitter.com/ypowxGgQRl— Game of Thrones (@GameOfThrones) May 6, 2019
Original post follows:
From the Battle of Winterfell, we saw a true hero emerge in Arya Stark.
In Game of Thrones' fourth episode of Season 8, "The Last of the Starks," we saw the inadvertent birth of the internet's new hero: a Starbucks coffee cup.

The disposable cup can be seen in front of the table in front of a forlorn Daenerys Targaryen, at about 14:44 in the episode.
For a show that is so meticulous in detail, the oversight (or product placement, if you put your tinfoil hats on) is pretty hilarious. You bet the internet noticed.

I cannot get over how the makers of #GameOfThrones put fans on blast for not having expensive enough TVs to fully appreciate their visually perfect show then this week there’s actually enough light to see the screen and their sloppy asses fully left a 2019 coffee cup in the shot. pic.twitter.com/gzUjhkn9xY

Starbucks Marketing “how much for product placement?”
Game of Thrones “that wouldn’t make sense, the show is based in....”

We guess as it's the final season, you can let slip some things here and there. Maybe not a coffee cup, but who are we to judge?
