Sophie Turner still has a latte to say about Game of Thrones’ notorious coffee cup mistake.

In honor of the actress’s cover story for the June issue of British Vogue, the Game of Thrones alum blindly taste tested British takeout. Turner, 28, admitted to some of her controversial food takes (“I only eat pizza with ketchup,” she said unabashedly in the clip) but also talks about the GoT food scandal.

Back in 2019, during the fourth episode of the series’ eighth and final season, fans spotted a major, 21st century faux pas.

“I think it was slightly embarrassing that none of us noticed it,” said the Joan actress. “It was quite glaringly obvious.”

At the time, Max had a lighthearted response to the caffeine controversy and joked on social media: “The latte that appeared in the episode was a mistake. Daenerys had ordered an herbal tea.”

But, according to Turner, the vibes on set were a little more heated.

“It caused quite a bit of controversy on set, actually,” the mother of two explained, adding that the fighting was reminiscent of another popular TV show. “We were all kind of pointing fingers at each other and it kind of turned into like a game of The Traitors.”

She added, “Somebody should have got fired for that one.”
