HBO edits out much-memed beverage as industry insiders recall similar errors
Itwas a jarring image: a modern-day take-out coffee cup – originally identified as a Starbucks cup, then later as one from a local coffee shop in Banbridge, Northern Ireland – sitting casually in a scene set in the faraway, fantastical world of Game of Thrones.
Soon after the cup appeared in episode four of the show’s eighth and final season, presumably mistakenly left alongside goblets and animal horns during a celebratory feast at Winterfell castle, the internet went mad.
