The owner of the actual coffee shop that provided the infamous cup from the “Game of Thrones” episode isn’t happy that Starbucks got all the publicity.  Quote, “It takes the promotion away from smaller businesses that need it, such as ours.”  Starbucks got all that free publicity from the“Game of Thrones” coffee cup goof, but as we soon found out, it WASN’T a Starbucks cup.

HBO described it as a “craft services coffee cup,” but apparently it was provided by an actual coffee shop: an independent place in Belfast called Paper Cup.  The owner confirmed that it was their cup.
