Last Night’s Episode of ‘Game of Thrones’ Accidentally Featured A Starbucks Cup
Apparently there's a Starbucks in Winterfell?
Game of Thrones, one of the most scrutinized show on television right now, messed up big time last night during a celebratory feast in Winterfell, when what appeared to be a Starbucks cup was featured among a variety of metal wine goblets

While it’s unclear as to who was enjoying the Starbucks beverage, the cup was placed in front of Jon Snow’s seat as Daenerys Stormborn stared into the scene from behind it. Viewers are wondering whether the cup truly was an accident, which would mean that none of the actors, producers, and editors noticed, or if it was a purposeful mistake to get fans talking about the hit show even more.
You’re telling me they had TWO YEARS to put together a decent show and they couldn’t even spot the goddamn Starbucks cup in Winterfell??!?! #GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/8opg7nyydv

The producers of Game of Thrones have shocked their audience again and again by inserting little nods to modernity, including when they concluded season 3’s “Walk of Punishment” episode with an out-of-context rock song, so it’s quite possible that this could have been included on purpose as part of a marketing stunt.
