The line comes from Cicek Abbas, the 1982 Turkish comedy film directed by Sinan Cetin and starring Ilyas Salman as the minibus driver Abbas alongside Sener Sen as Sakir. In the film Abbas cheerfully buys tea for everyone but pointedly refuses it to Sakir, and the moment became one of Turkish cinema's most quoted gags. The quote lived on through television reruns and word of mouth before resurfacing as a reaction clip on Turkish social media and soundboards, where short movie dialogue is shared as meme audio. It endures because the playful public snub fits countless everyday situations.
