Trivia

During the Winterfell feast scene, when Tormund is speaking about Jon riding Rhaegal, a modern paper coffee cup could be seen near Daenerys. The coffee cup received considerable news coverage and social media discourse, dubbed "CoffeeGate". Many news sources incorrectly stated it was a Starbucks cup, it was actually from the Belfast, Ireland coffee shop Paper Cup. HBO confirmed the next day on Twitter that it was an error, stating "The latte that appeared in the episode was a mistake. Daenerys had ordered an herbal tea." By Tuesday morning HBO updated their OnDemand and streaming platforms with a new version of the episode with the coffee cup digitally removed, and confirmed the new version would be used for future airings and home video releases.
