HBO erases ‘Game of Thrones’ coffee cup
    2019-05-09  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

WAY to ruin the moment, HBO! The cable network and creator of “Game of Thrones” has confirmed that the Starbucks cup left on the table during one of the scenes in Episode Four was a mistake.

Less than 48 hours after Episode Four of Season Eight dropped, the cup was edited out of the scene on HBO’s streaming platform, a spokesman confirmed. (Future rebroadcasts on cable TV will also exclude the cup.)

Some eagle-eyed viewers had taken to social media Sunday night during the show to share pictures of what looked like a Starbucks takeaway cup in front of Daenerys Targaryen during the celebratory scene in Winterfell.

The cup appeared for all of two seconds around the 17:40 mark.

Bernie Caulfield, an executive producer on the show, confirmed the mistake during an interview with an American radio station. She quipped: “Westeros was the first place to actually, you know, have Starbucks.”

HBO also poked fun at the error, releasing a statement that read: “The latte that appeared in the episode was a mistake. Daenerys has ordered an herbal tea.”

The biggest winner from the blunder appears to be Starbucks, who immediately used the gaffe to advertise their Dragon Drink, which, despite its name, has nothing to do with the show.

“Game of Thrones” is in its eighth and final season with two more episodes to go before fans get to find out who will claim the Iron Throne. (SD-Agencies)
