Fans Point Out Starbucks Cup in ‘Game of Thrones’

Today’s game is… Mistake or Product placement?
People are calling out HBO’s Game of Thrones for leaving what appears to be a Starbucks coffee cup in the background of a scene.

Some people are making snide comments about ‘Game of Thrones’ being “unprofessional” or even claiming that they must have “senioritis”.

The fact that anybody is able to bring a Starbucks cup onto a hot set makes me feel like they've got senioritis over in Westeros.

Most people, however, are taking the opportunity to find humor in the situation and ‘Game of Thrones’ is finding itself more roasted than Drogon’s dinner.

Fun fact: George R R Martin got all his character names from the ones baristas write on Starbucks cups. pic.twitter.com/cX7NoZg3pi

Maybe ‘Game of Thrones’ was thinking no one would notice a dark roast among the darkness that is the entire episode? However, are we forgetting this gem?

You either drink or you die here on a Game of Cups -I mean Thrones-
