Sugar glass
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sugar glass (also called candy glass) is not glass at all, but a mixture of sugar, corn syrup and water, which looks like glass when finished. It is used in stunt sequences of films where using real glass would be more dangerous, such as diving through a window or breaking a bottle on a person. Although sugar glass is less dangerous than real glass, it can still cause injury when shattered. After a sheet of sugar glass is made, it must be used soon afterwards. Otherwise, it will warp and become soft and sticky. Like sugar paper (also known as edible paper), sugar glass is edible. However, although its name contains the word "sugar", it is not particularly sweet tasting; it has little flavor, instantly dissolving in the mouth.
