Infamous Game of Thrones Starbucks Cup Shows Up in Skyrim

PC modders have managed to extend Skyrim's cultural relevancy yet again with a not-so-subtle nod to the famed Game of Thrones coffee mishap.

In case you missed it - though that seems nearly impossible considering it's been one of the most talked about pop culture goofs of the past year - someone on the Game of Thrones production team accidentally left a coffee cup on set during a shoot for episode 4 of the fantasy epic's final season.

The error in the Game of Thrones episode has since been corrected, but the initial response on social media was immediate and all-consuming, with even HBO and Starbucks getting in on the fun. Now, the Skyrim modder JohnRose18 has added the infamous latte into Bethesda's 2011 open-world adventure (Skyrim also came out in 2013, 2016, 2017, and 2018, but this mod only works on the PC version).

Every Death on Game of Thrones

Warning: This article contains spoilers for all of HBO's Game of Thrones, up through Season 8, episode 5, "The Bells."

With Game of Thrones about to close up shop for good, it's time to look back at the massive mountain of dead bodies it's left in its wake (some of which come courtesy of The Mountain).

The most recent episode, "The Bells," left fans traumatized, as usual, due to the shocking deaths it contained (and also because of Daenerys' controversial - but not completely unexpected - villainous turn). We expect an even higher body count in the series finale, which is an hour and 20 minutes long.
