Move Over Coffee Cup—Someone Left A Plastic Water Bottle In The 'Game Of Thrones' Finale

Move Over Coffee Cup—Someone Left A Plastic Water Bottle In The 'Game Of Thrones' Finale

Warning: There are MAJOR spoilers ahead if you have not seen Sunday's Game of Thrones series finale.

Someone in the editing room of Game of Thrones does not understand the concept of leaving Easter eggs. Easter eggs are hidden homages bearing significance, but unless what they were going for was environmental protection, that's not what has been going on with GoT lately.

Were on-set crew members phoning it in as they were preparing to close up shop after eight seasons?

Now that we all managed to move on past #cupgate, the name for the situation in which a modern day coffee cup was left in a GoT scene, a new beverage cup made its debut to close out the series.

Eagle-eyed fans spotted a plastic water bottle in Westerosi capital next to Samwell Tarly's leg .


Fans filmed their TV screens at the jarring object that embarrassingly passed under the radar on set and in the editing room.

Twitter user @bethisloco was one of the first to post the gaffe online.

"A water bottle in King's Landing!! #got #gameofthrones," she wrote.


Rather than throwing a tantrum, however, viewers were amused by the anachronistic drinking vessel.






Seriously, whatever happened to on-set integrity?



Who is ultimately responsible?


The kicker is, there was another water bottle in the scene!




Fans seemed to be more disappointed about how HBO's juggernaut of a series had gone out with a whimper.





After HBO was alerted to Daenerys's Starbucks cup in episode 4, the premium network channel digitally removed the objectionable object from the scene.

The water bottle will probably be the next to go, but at this point, it's too little too latte.

Teacher Stunned After Student Argues That People Shouldn't Have To 'Think Anymore' Thanks To ChatGPT

There's no doubt that ChatGPT and similar tools are growing in relevance and application, and they're growing fast. The problem is that many people, especially younger individuals, seem to struggle with how much they should depend on the tools.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Video Of Crows Ripping Out Animatronic Rapunzel's Hair At Tokyo DisneySea Goes Viral—And Yikes!

Disney princesses are usually known for their whimsical singing and befriending creatures from all across the animal kingdom, but Princess Rapunzel at Tokyo DisneySea may have misunderstood the assignment.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

Bald Men Are Up In Arms Over Viral Chart That Predicts Political Affiliation Based On A Man's Haircut

Can a man's haircut tell you his political affiliation? Scientifically, of course not... but we probably all have a gut feeling about it, regardless!

And a TikToker has followed that lead by developing a chart that predicts a man's political persuasion based on his hair alone—and bald men are NOT happy about it.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

The video shows Kid Rock saluting as the aircraft hovers near his property, standing next to a replica Statue of Liberty by his pool. In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
