If you haven't watched Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 4, "The Last of the Starks," yet, fair warning, this post contains mild spoilers.
So, during the post-battle feast inside Winterfell — while Tormund was hyping up Jon and Daenerys was giving major side-eye — you probably missed one of the most surprising moments of last night's episode...
...A CAMEO FROM THIS STARBUCKS CUP!!!!
AND YES, THIS IS 100% REAL.
And, of course, fans were quick to pick up on this oversight.
That's a pumpkin spice latte
OOPS.
Whoopsie lol
But mainly, they were very into making their own jokes.
Guys it’s not Starbucks, it’s Winterfell’s own coffee chain “Dire cup” #GameofThrones
That Winterfell starbucks cashier ain't ready to write Dany's name on her coffee cup #GameofThrones
Broke: they accidentally left a starbucks cup on the set, oops Woke: Starbucks is canon in Game of Thrones world
Imagine HBO spending millions on every single episode and being done over by a single coffee cup. Guess Dany didn’t get the memo about reusable chalices #GameofThrones
They even connected it to the ~controversy~ around the lighting on the show.
GoT cinematographer: i know there are exactly the right amount of starbucks cups in the shot bc i shot it https://t.co/MKW5ifKKtb
The fact that there was a Starbucks cup in tonight’s Game of Thrones that no producers or editors noticed throughout multiple cuts merely 1 week after the DP yelled that the show’s not too dark to see is truly *chef’s kiss*
maybe if they lit the show better they'd be able to spot their own basic mistakes #GameOfThrones
And here's the video receipt, should you need it.
my favorite show in the entire world forgot a STARBUCKS COFFEE CUP ON THE TABLE WHILE FILMING
