These people get paid a lot of money. It’s nice to know they take it so seriously.

[SauronOfMordor]

Martin is 70 years old, rich, and has no kids. He doesn’t need money, and probably decided he preferred to enjoy his remaining life than get another check.o

I did not see the commercial and there are NO commercial breaks during HBO shows for me to see it. Phooey to Starbucks crappy coffee, the worst coffee I drank in the Army tasted better than theirs.

[GreyFriar]

That is a better use from the grounds than drinking the flavored water that results from boiling them.

[GreyFriar]

After I wrote my initial reply to you, I saw the picture of the cup on the table. As an old prop man for plays in high school or college, it should have been removed from the table before the shooting.

Just shows how far and wide the Starbucks franchise stores have truly spread!

[PGR88]

Of course, its not called “Starbucks” in Westeros - its called Dornish Bean Drip.

Worms love coffee grounds...

Is everyone in Star Trek an Officer ?

Never watch or watched the program. Zero interest.

. . . and yet, here you are on a Game of Thrones thread about a coffee cup, virtue signaling that you wouldn’t have seen the coffee cup anyway because you’re too virtuous to watch Game of Thrones.

😂😂😂😂

Winterell has a starbux franchise. Who’d have thought?

It wasn’t a commercial, it was in the scene in the movie, check post 16.

[Born to Conserve]

I’m not so sure that is a Starbucks coffee — I think I see a teabag tag...

It’s advertising,known as product placement.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I was just explaining why this last season is filled with people sitting around and talking instead of actually moving the plot forward and why last week’s battle was as silly as a Marvel comic.

[Reno89519]

Just irritating people like you I guess. Hey, I don’t even drink coffee. Oh no, even less standing to share my thoughts? If it only worked that way we could eliminate most discussion. Bad idea.

[dfwgator]

Best Starbucks product placement since.....

[atc23]

What makes you think I’m irritated. I don’t even know what Game of Thrones is
