The biggest TV show on earth, ‘Game of Thrones’ found it’s final episode in yet another controversy after a 21th century plastic water bottle made a cameo appearance.
The bottle made its presence when the lords of Westeros were discussing their future ruler.
The water bottle was tucked in behind Samwell Tarly’s foot.

This wasn’t the only bottle out there, some users spotted a second bootle later.

This isn’t the first time that the grand show faltered editing. Earlier during the season, a starbucks coffee cup was spotted in Westeros. HBO went on to release a statement on coffee cup incident stating, “The latte that appeared in the episode was a mistake. Daenerys had ordered an herbal tea.”
Game of Thrones in fact has an audience of over a billion people on earth, the most watched TV show in recent times. Most of the viewers found that the makers rushed in to complete the season, that too with a shabby story line and poor closure. Fans who were disappointed with the makers started a petition to redo the entire season 8, and it had received close to a million signatures.
