Mardi Gras throws are strings of beads, doubloons, cups, and other trinkets passed out or thrown from the floats in the New Orleans Mardi Gras parades to spectators lining the streets.

Mardi Gras celebrations in other Gulf Coast cities, such as Mobile and Lafayette, have adopted the custom.
Generally, Mardi Gras beads are a thin strip of beads made from plastic in one color only, but the beads can come in every color under the sun.
