The hype for "Once upon a time in ... Hollywood" is so real. In the last Quentin Tarantino movie the character of Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) goes to Italy to shoot some spaghetti western, this is an opportunity to imagine the actor as a testimonial for a Scottish whisky brand very popular in Italy for a cult scene taken from the comedy "Febbre da Cavallo" (Steno, 1976) - watch the clip.
“Anche Voi, non prendete fischi per fiaschi”

“Do not take whistles for flasks” (*)
Vat 69 the manly whisky with no risk
(*) “Prendere fischi per fiaschi” (you mistook whistles for fiaschi, or Chianti-style flasks), which is based, not on images, but on the whimsical delight of sounds. If you misinterpret, you could end up in a true fiasco—and if you do, Italians don’t boo but whistle (fischiare).
