Note: this article contains spoilers for Game of Thrones episode "The Last of the Starks." The talk of Game of Thrones this week isn't exactly something its creators had envisaged. Yes, we're still pretty devastated by the deaths of Rhaegal and Missandei, but what everyone has really been chattering about is that Starbucks cup mistake.
Well, one of the show's producers has apologized for the error. Bernadette Caulfield told All of It with Alison Stewart: "I can't believe [it happened]—our on-set prop people and decorators are so on it, a thousand per cent.
"Nowadays, you can't believe what you see, because people can put things into a photo that doesn't really exist, but I guess maybe it was there!" She went on to joke: "We're sorry! Westeros was the first place to actually have Starbucks—it's a little-known fact.
"There's always something. I guess if that's the worst thing that they're finding, we're in good shape. Starbucks, send us money!"
In a statement issued yesterday, HBO owned up to the mistake on the official GoT Twitter account, joking that Daenerys had actually "ordered an herbal tea":

Starbucks, of course, also couldn't resist chiming in:

With fans distracted by the coffee cup, many failed to notice that showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss had a cameo as a pair of Wildlings in the same scene.
