“I Can Eat Glass was a website created in the mid-1990s that collected more than 150 translations of the phrase "I can eat glass, it does not hurt me".[1] Broken glass is sharp and can cause injury (for example flying glass), and consumption could cause dangerous internal bleeding. Ethan Mollick, then a student at Harvard, chose the unorthodox phrase because he believed visitors to foreign countries typically learn common phrases in the foreign language such as "where is the bathroom?" which instantly reveal they are tourists. "But, if one says 'I can eat glass, it doesn't hurt me,' you will be viewed as an insane native, and treated with dignity and respect", Mollick explained.[2][3] He described The I Can Eat Glass Project as "a challenge to the human spirit" and compared it to the Apollo program and the Panama Canal.”
