I drink a lot of Starbucks, and while that cup definitely didn't belong in Westeros, that's definitely not a Starbucks cup.— patrick (@patrick) 1557125783
Imagine HBO spending millions on every single episode and being done over by a single coffee cup. Guess Dany didn’t… https://t.co/fvauPnZ9oT— Maria Herron (@Maria Herron) 1557127006
