Fans Are Losing It Over The Starbucks Cup In 'Game of Thrones'

This article contains spoilers for Game Of Thrones season 8.

Game of Thrones is no stranger to a “blink-and-you’ll-miss-it” moments. But the moment no one was expecting to see last night? A Starbucks cup.

In the episode titled ‘The Last of the Starks’, GoT picks up right after The Battle of Winterfell ends. In the scene where the town is celebrating over a feast and some ale, fans spotted an unlikely addition to the grounds of Winterfell. Some Twitter theorists were convinced it was just product placement, while others believed it was the directors’ way to wink at fans who were complaining about last week’s episode being too dark.

Below, the best reactions to Starbuck’s guest appearance in GoT.
