The latest episode of Game Of Thrones Season 8, 'Last of the Starks' released on May 6. Apart from everything that happened in the episode, one of the most discussed things from the episode was the Starbucks cup spotted in the episode. Internet was left in splits as comments about having a Starbucks outlet in Westeros were all over social media. In the episode, after winning the war against the White Walkers, everyone is seen celebrating with a drink and on the same table, we spotted a Starbucks cup alongside the Dragon Queen.

After the blooper received so much hype, Starbucks made sure to make it even funnier with their response. On their Twitter account, the coffee giant replied saying, "TBH we're surprised she didn't order a Dragon Drink." This set off GoT fans on a frenzy who made sure to reply with even funnier puns. The official account of Game Of Thrones, on the other hand, had a rather firm response, they tweeted saying, "News from Winterfell. The latte that appeared in the episode was a mistake. #Daenerys had ordered herbal tea."

Although, we loved the interactions that followed on the Starbucks tweet which range from quoting the popular line from season 8, "What do dragons eat anyway?" to the promotion of their dragon drink as, "Available in the US, Canada, and The North."

Well, now that the final season has only two more episodes left, we hope that there are no more goof ups. If the episode leaks were any less irritating, having a Starbucks cup in the episode was totally irresponsible.
