Default thick & hearty---adj

A.1 Thick & Hearty Steak Sauce.

It looks like it's a slogan.

1. What does 'thick & hearty' mean?

2. Is it a common usage in English?

Thanks

1. Thick & Hearty-- definitely a widespread advertising slogan.
2. In this instance, thick means that it pours slowly, like ketchup- viscous.
Hearty-- nourishing and full of flavor. Used together these two words make a slogan.
