Of course, I forgot all about McD's. Thanks.
Although I think G Love's sauce has more to do with vitality than vitals

kinda like in the old tune:
"Leather Winged Bat"

'I' said the red bird sitting on a fence
'I once loved a handsome wench
she got saucy and from me fled
and ever since my head's been red'
