--------Tanks for checking out my instructable and please vote for me in the candy contest if you guys like it --------
Did your mom ever tell you "do not play with glass"? Well this glass you can play with and you can even eat it.
I always saw how in movies they break bottles on peoples' heads, and always wondered how they did that. I just leaned this process and not only can you make fake bottles for special effects or for fun, but you can also eat them.
These bottles are made of sugar and corn syrup - and they are totally eat-able. Following this Instructable you will be able to mold pretty much anything out of sugar-glass, you are only limited by your imagination.
The sound that this bottle makes when breaking is also extremely realistic.

Paper is edible, but not really eatable. Sour milk is edible, but not really eatable...if you get my drift?
Really thanks...
