What Makes This Throw Amazing:

  • Sauce mix for preparing a renowned Louisiana dish with a rich, creamy roux, aromatic vegetables, spices and seafood such as crawfish or shrimp.

  • Functional throw that you can catch and use year after year.

  • Helps support a local brand & business: Mam Papaul’s.

What This Throw Can Teach Us:

Every year tens of millions of dollars are sent abroad to purchase and import parade throws. Wouldn’t it be great if we could keep some of that business here and create jobs for those who need them? We can! Consumable throws, which are cost competitive with disposable plastic throws, promote our Louisiana food culture, support local businesses and provide low skilled work for citizens and volunteers who sticker, stuff and tie the bags. These throws truly are a win, win, win!
