cascaron
Confetti-filled hollow egg
A cascaron is a hollowed eggshell filled with confetti, traditionally broken over someone's head during celebrations.
Associated with Easter, Carnival, and fiestas in Mexican and Latin American cultures, cascarones bring good luck to the person showered with confetti: The children chased each other with cascarones at the Easter party.
