Can't [do that] for toffee
Maybe it started out as "coffee", Maverick.
As in:
Can't do that for all the coffee in Arabia.
The English drink Tea so they made a "toffee" out it.
History of Coffee: [from Wikipedia]
The crop first became popular in Arabia around the 13th century, and Islam's prohibition against alcoholic beverages probably enhanced its popularity. Before 1600, coffee production was a jealously guarded secret, and fertile beans were not found outside Arabia.
