The line comes from Mass Effect 2, released in 2010, where Commander Shepard can record endorsements for shops on the Citadel space station in exchange for a discount. Because players could endorse several competing stores, each claiming to be his favourite, the quote spread online as commander shepard memes about insincere advertising. It was reused in Mass Effect 3 and in edits, forum posts and videos applying the endorsement to real shops and products, keeping it popular long after the game launched.
