If you watched Game of Thrones last night you might have spotted something a little out of place . No , there was n’t an ewok riding a flying lizard or anything as nerveless as that . The HBO show ventilate a modern coffee cupful that was definitely not opine to be in the shooting .
The false coffee cup appears at roughly the 17:50 - instant mark in the instalment entitle , “ The Last of the Starks , ” and as you may see , it ’s understandably a to - go cup from the twenty-first hundred .
Can you spot it ? Maybe this zoom will help .

Yep , there it is . Someone was enjoying their pumpkin vine spiciness half - caf two-fold caffe latte before the camera was rolling and block to get rid of it .
Social medium user apace wrick the rogue coffee cup into a meme , poking fun at how hard it would be if the Mother of Dragons gave her full name at Starbucks .

Her name islongand Starbucks is n’t opine to be in the Game of Thrones universe . Get it ? Do you get it ?
It was a dull mistake , specially given how closely the show is watch , but Game of Thrones sure was n’t the first high - visibility movie or TV show to make this kind of misplay . There ’s a tenacious tradition of menstruum dramas and action picture where modern - day appliance and contemporary style accidentally make their way into the final excision .
For example , the 1995 picture Braveheart accidentally showed a modern vanguard during abig battle scene , the 2000 celluloid Gladiator include a gas piston chamber on one of itschariots , and the 1959 picture Ben Hur let in amodern wrist watch .
And just last year , the The Front Runner star Hugh Jackman included a promotional shooting of a reporter who ’s wear out anApple Watch . The movie was set in 1987 , long before smartwatches were a thing . Can you see it below ?
Again , it ’s too bad that the Game of Thrones gaffe could n’t be something badass like an ewok on a tartar . I swear it would be nerveless . But I guess we ’ll have to square off for something like this , where Starbucks invades Winterfell . Sorry , but this is canyon now .
Update , 9:25 am ET : LOL .
