May 20, 2019 9:17 AM UTC Just weeks after a stray [Starbucks cup](http://time.com/5583758/game-of-thrones-coffee-cup-mistake/) was accidentally left in a _Game of Thrones_ episode, eagle-eyed viewers spotted another modern-day artifact lingering in the show’s [Sunday night finale](http://time.com/5591754/game-of-thrones-series-finale-review/). At least one water bottle made its way into the show’s last episode, “The Iron Throne.” A Twitter user posted a video showing a bottle visibly lurking behind character Samwell Tarly’s foot. > [](https://twitter.com/krishna%5Fpanduga/status/1130343807818641408) Social media users were quick to mock the blooper, which came amid an already [heavily criticized](http://time.com/5591754/game-of-thrones-series-finale-review/) last season. “How do you get that sloppy on the most anticipated tv event in YEARS? [#waterbottle,](https://twitter.com/hashtag/waterbottle?src=hash)” [one user](https://twitter.com/effinmertmij/status/1130361445248569346) asked. Others laughed off the apparent gaffe. “Even the most important lords of the seven kingdom’s need to stay hydrated” another user posted. > [](https://twitter.com/Savanna39803740/status/1130344553620226049) After a coffee cup was spotted in episode four, HBO issued a statement [joking](http://time.com/5586661/game-of-thrones-cast-troll-coffee-cup/) “the latte that appeared in that episode was a mistake. Daenerys had ordered an herbal tea.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5591932/plastic-bottle-game-of-thrones-finale/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5591932/plastic-bottle-game-of-thrones-finale/"},"headline":"Fans Spotted a Plastic Water Bottle Lurking in the Game of Thrones Finale","datePublished":"2019-05-20T09:17:55.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:59:01.100Z","description":"After an errant coffee cup caused earlier uproar, fans spotted another blunder","url":"https://time.com/5591932/plastic-bottle-game-of-thrones-finale/","keywords":["Newsfeed","game of thrones","onetime","overnight","clickmonsters"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0ef0a0d815c0d385/69894a20096a942e286a51a5/game-of-thrones-finale-fan.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Amy Gunia","jobTitle":"Gunia was a reporter for TIME based in Hong Kong.","url":"https://time.com/author/amy-gunia/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0ef0a0d815c0d385/69894a20096a942e286a51a5/game-of-thrones-finale-fan.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"US-ENTERTAINMENT-TELEVISION-GOT-FINALE","caption":"US-ENTERTAINMENT-TELEVISION-GOT-FINALE","creditText":"Johannes Eisele—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5591932/plastic-bottle-game-of-thrones-finale/","name":"Fans Spotted a Plastic Water Bottle Lurking in the Game of Thrones Finale"}}]}] ```
