Pilgrims who bought tickets to see the pope on his visit to Spain were given a McDonald's hamburger, medium fries, medium drink, and either an ice cream sundae or an apple pie. Also included in the ticket price was a "pilgrim's bag" with a baseball cap, a rosary, a copy of the Gospel According to St. Mark.
