A scene-stealing Starbucks cup made a cameo in the latest ‘Game of Thrones’ episode | Advertising Age

Oops.

In last night’s “Game of Thrones,” Starbucks got an unpaid boost thanks to one of its cups making an appearance on a table. It turns out the chain really is everywhere.

The cup appeared in front of Daenerys Targaryen during the North's celebration of the Night King’s defeat in the Battle of Winterfell. But the mother of dragons was too focused on Northerners and wildlings toasting Jon Snow's victory to notice the errant java.

“Game of Thrones” is filled with magic and surprises, from main character kill-offs and their resurrections to ice dragons and undead armies, but a Starbucks cup in the lands of Westeros might be the most unexpected of all.

Fans took to Twitter, naturally, and some wondered if it its placement was in fact an “accident.” Neither Starbucks nor HBO were available for comment. 

While we don’t know exactly what was in the Starbucks cup, it’s safe to say that Khaleesi takes her coffee unburnt.
