According to Wiki:

"The English word confetti (to denote Jordan almonds) is adopted from the Italian confectionery of the same name, which was a small sweet traditionally thrown during carnivals. Also known as dragée or comfit, Italian confetti are almonds with a hard sugar coating; their name equates to French confit."

Ouch. That sounds like it would hurt if people were throwing that at you. LoL. :mcheh:

Maybe that's why it got replaced by paper snippets ;)

Throwing sweets at people is still a tradition in German Karneval though.

ha ha, that was funny. You listed that history, and my immediate thought was "people were eating candies that had been thrown?" and you guys were instead talking about it hurting.... I don't think it would hurt if you were just gently lobbing them. A small toss isn't going to hurt. If you really wound up and pretended to be a baseball pitcher, maybe, but who'd do that?

I prefer confetti over candy when it comes to throwing xD

I used to go pep rallies and the cheerleaders would throw candy.
I'd get hit every single time. Candy hurts. >8u

A world of fragile things
Look for me in the white forest
Hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)
I know you hear me,
I can taste it in your tears."
