Game of Thrones fans spot a Starbucks coffee cup in a scene and no one can cope
6 May 2019, 09:50
Daenerys Targaryen will take one small skinny caramel cappuccino with two extra shots and whipped cream on top to go please. Make it SCORCHING.
Over the past eight seasons, Game of Thrones has been meticulous in its attention to detail. From the costumes and the set design, right down to the little easter eggs that have been scattered throughout the entire show, Thrones has rarely slipped. Sure, there's been some continuity errors but nothing too glaringly obvious.
Until today, that is.
Who died in Game of Thrones? Every death in season 8 so far
The episode title of season 8, episode 4 was 'The Last of the Starks' but it may well have been called 'The Last of the StarBUCks' because someone left a whole coffee cup in clear view during a scene at Winterfell. Yes. Really. For real. I'm not lying. Winterfell has a Starbucks. Apparently.
Following the aftermath of the Long Night and a mass funeral pyre, everyone left alive in the North attends a wake in honour of the dead. Despite the heaviness of the situation, the team in the North appears to be having a good time.
Jon Snow smiles for the first time in 84 years, Tyrion, Jaime, Brienne and Podrick are all playing Never Have I Ever, Sarcasm Squad The Hound and Sansa reflect on their journey, Gendry finally becomes a Lord and Tormund is living his best life.
The only person not living their best life is Auntie Daenerys who is still pressed over the fact that no one cares about her and that her nephew Jon always gets more attention. In fact, it's been a bit of a rough night for her and you know what, she's not up for drinking the wine that Sansa has go kindly provided! Thanks anyway!
Instead, it looks like she felt the need to pop down to the local STARKbucks to grab herself a small cappuccino ahead of tomorrow's journey south.

Yep, there it is. Right on the table, in clear view of the camera. A whole coffee cup. Just sitting there. That no one thought to move. (Unless it's an easter egg?! What could it mean!?)
So, who's Starbucks is it? So far, no one has claimed the cup but considering its position on the table, there's already two main suspects. Is it Emilia Clarke's? Is it Kit Harington's?! I'd say whoever left it there is getting fired in the morning but...
