ticker tape
Parade paper strips
Ticker tape is the narrow paper strip that stock tickers once printed with price quotations, spooling continuously from the machine.
The term survives mainly in ticker-tape parade, where shredded paper is thrown from buildings to celebrate heroes and champions—originally actual ticker tape, now any paper confetti.
