14. Pop's Swear Jar

This one's a real blink-and-you'll-miss it Easter egg. The third episode begins with Ward (Tom Pelphrey) attending a Narcotics Anonymous meeting, where he and others are seen putting putting money into a used pot of Café Bustelo coffee.

The brand is indeed a real one sold throughout the U.S., but it has a special significance to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Luke Cage in particular. You might not remember, but Pops (Frankie Faison) used a pot of the famous coffee as his swear jar back in the show's first season.

Sure, it's an ultra-popular coffee in New York anyway, but there's no way this wasn't a deliberate nod.
