I need a Hindi speaker to answer a question....
I was traveling in India with my brother and we were eating some biscuits/cookies, something like Parle G, and there was a slogan that we were taking about, but can't quite remember all of it. It was printed in roman letters, which was odd as I think it was one of the few times we saw Hindi written with roman characters
I remember it as "Double Sawad (or Sawaa or similar spelling), Double Mazaa!" I've figured out that Mazaa means 'pleasurable' or something to that effect, but what does the other term mean? I can't seem to find any info on it.
Thanks in advance!
- John

double the taste, double the pleasure.
swaad = taste (I'm pretty sure, I don't speak hindi though)

I only speak limited amounts of gujarati, but I can understand a lot of it, which is odd I think.

बहुत बहुत - bahut bahut - Thank you very much.
I don't speak/understand any of it... but I've been using online hindi tools for a couple days trying to answer the above question.

Bahut bahut is not thank you very much.
That is bahut, but it means lots.. signifies quantity.
