A to-go cup, probably from Starbucks, was spotted on a table in one scene

BԪַGame of ThronesBԪַ fans got a taste of the modern world when eagle-eyed viewers spotted a takeout coffee cup on the table during a celebration in which the actors drank from goblets and horns.

The characters Daenerys and Jon Snow did not react to the out of place cup in SundayBԪַs episode.

Many viewers complained the show should have caught the gaffe, which turned into an enduring meme on Monday.

HBO poked fun at the oversight: BԪַThe latte that appeared in the episode was a mistake. Daenerys had ordered an herbal tea.BԪַ

Amateur sleuths tried to determine where the coffee cup came from, with some viewers who took to Twitter concluding it was from Starbucks. HBO only said it was from its craft services crew.

Even the showBԪַs executive producer, Bernie Caulfield, expressed disbelief that the cup made it on screen.

BԪַOur onset prop people and decorators are so on it, 1,000%,BԪַ she said in an interview with Alison Stewart on WNYCBԪַs BԪַAll of it.BԪַ
