  Tasty - Tasty BiscuitsMaska Chaska: Tasty - Tasty Biscuits

The city of Chaska received its name from a Dakota word naming the first-born son.

However what does "Chaska" mean in Hindi?

I keep seeing the word pop up on Indian products. A friend recently brought me this package of "Tasty - Tasty Biscuits," called "Maska Chaska," made in India and purchased at an Indian foods store.

Does anyone have any idea?

I don't care what it means half as much as how those tasty-tasty biscuits taste. Either the tasty-tasty equals real good or real bad. Open them!

"Maska" is a western India word for butter. My sources are still tracking down the meaning of "Chaska."

I found a DVD with the title Chaska over at ebay. Its a hindi film. I won't post the link here because of its erotic nature - but it appears it means "An Addiction"

The title is "Chaska(An Addiction)". It can be yours for $4.45 plus s&h!

Butter Addiction?

Interesting.....

A Bollywood song/dance number called "Chaska Mera Chaska" is the first video that pops up when you type "Chaska" in YouTube's search engine: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oa-JPLXQ6cs

There is also an advertisement for a strange Peruvian Cirque Du Soleil-esque production called "Chaska": www.youtube.com/watch?v=BqArgfp5Qd4.

So apparently "Chaska" means many things in many languages -- although I still have no idea exactly what.
