The fact that they could remove it digitally proves to me that it was intentional.

Are we really supposed to believe that it went totally unnoticed until the viewing audience immediately saw it,

Starbucks released a new Dragon drink for the summer a week before the episode aired.
It's actually a new variation of an older drink. Quite a coincidence.

Before you ask, no. Starbucks Dragon Drink was not the beverage shown in Sunday’s Game of Thrones. Really missed a great opportunity though.

I’m not sure why having the ability to digitally edit it out would mean it’s on purpose.
I just don’t buy for a second that not a single person saw it before it aired. No one on the set during production, no one in post production, no one at all until it aired on HBO, when millions of people immediately notice it.

1) The viewing audience didn't see it. YOU didn't see it until it became a meme. A select few people glanced at the table instead of the Dragon Queen's reaction shot (which was the focus of the shot).
2) It did go totally unnoticed by the production team and HBO. For all that you know, that reaction shot was dropped in towards the end of the editing process for that episode. Someone doesn't like the shot they had, tells the editor to drop in a different take, boom - coffee cup.

No they didn't. Millions of people were told on the internet after a few noticed.

Having been on a set and in an editing room for films, news, and commercials, I can completely understand it. You’d be surprised how often things get missed until it’s too late.
Hell, my wife does post production on commercials for a certain truck brand whose creative team straight up forgot to get the music rights for a song and nobody noticed until the day it was to be shipped to air.

No, it is. So are we 100% committed to just ignoring that it wasn't a Starbucks cup?
If an advertisement, they would not use a generic or non-Starbucks labeled cup. PJs wouldn't put in a generic cup and just pray that you thought of them instead of Starbucks.
Come up for air.

Notice they haven't been relentlessly correcting people who say it's Starbucks. Plus, isn't this the second time they've done this?
The real question is: who owns that little Irish coffee place? Eh? If the owner is listed as "Rachel Benoiff" or "Lilian Weiss," I'm calling Jump Street.

Now you're just fricking with us.

So many people act like the two coffee cups are the first of their kind. There is a "goofs" section on IMDB for movies and for popular movies there are usually lists of a dozen or so mistakes, one of the sub-categories in goofs is crew and equipment visible.

But yeah, I'm sure Starbucks releasing the dragon drink a couple of days before the "incident" is just a coincidence.
And if I'm wrong, I SHOULD be right, because that was super beneficial for Starbucks.

Still milking it. In the words of TX Tiger (or Tiger in TX or TX TGR, or whatever the frick it is), "you people are sheople."

You're an idiot if you think they wouldn't do this or that this kind of product placement isn't ubiquitous
