Many viewers complained the show should have caught the gaffe.
Even the show’s executive producer, Bernie Caulfield, expressed disbelief that the cup made it on screen.
I thought this might be a joke to make us all rewatch that scene, but nope, it’s real. I took a picture too. It’s at 17:49 and it’s a pretty unmistakable coffee cup. https://t.co/uc8I0zoXiL

“Our onset prop people and decorators are so on it, 1,000%,” she said in an interview with Alison Stewart on WNYC’s “All of It.”
“Nowadays you can’t believe what you see because people can put things into a photo that really doesn’t exist, but I guess maybe it was there, I’m not sure,” she said. “We’re sorry!”
She also joked that Westeros was the first place to actually have a Starbucks: “It’s a little known fact.”
The last “Game of Thrones” episode airs May 19.
