I Can Eat Glass was definitely a thing, but in the late 1990s or perhaps very early 2000s. Sites such as knowyourmeme.com don't go nearly as far back.

The website was first picked up on the Internet Archive in 1999. I had no trouble finding memes from 1994-1996 on KYM, such as "Dancing Baby", "Ate My Balls", and "Goodtimes Virus".

In fact, clicking that "year:1994" turns up 108 results, so they're pretty comprehensive, although they only cover Web-based memes, usually with images, and not Usenet.
