Here we have the blunder that launched a thousand memes: the infamous coffee cup that magically appeared in front of Daenerys Targaryen in the fantasy land of Westeros.

The offending incident occurred in an episode of Game of Thrones. You know Game of Thrones? That show your annoying friend kept telling you you HAD to watch? The same show that they wouldn't stop complaining about in depth? The show about dragons that adults loved until suddenly they all hated it?

Contrary to popular belief, the cup was not a Starbucks coffee! After zooming in and enhancing the image, it becomes clear that it was actually a disposable cup containing some kind of tea, and probably came from one of the local coffee shops of Bainbridge, Ireland, where the scene was shot. Our money's on Patrisse Coffee Lounge, but it could always be Blend & Batch!

Other everyday items that have accidentally shown up in Game of Thrones include a plastic water bottle, a laptop charger, and a rough manuscript of George R.R. Martin's first draft of the final book.
