A glass bottle of Irn-Bru covered in liquid putty has been launched off the Glasgow Tower in the latest experiment from the team who sent a teacake into space.

Science Sam donned a safety harness and a GoPro camera for the Glasgow Science Centre stunt.

The bottle, which was covered in £300 of putty, was thrown from a height of 40ft to the theme tune of cult horror movie The Omen.

Unsurprisingly, it did not survive the drop.

Surveying the debris afterwards, Science Sam told viewers: "It looks like a deid jellyfish".

Before the full video was published online, Glasgow Science Centre launched a social media poll which asked if the bottle would emerge from the experiment intact.

About 60% voted "naw" and 40% said "aye".

Earlier this month, a Tunnock's Teacake was sent to the edge of space from Scotland.

It was carried to a height of 121,000ft on a weather balloon launched from Houston, Renfrewshire.

Science Sam has also previously tried to cook a potato scone using spontaneous combustion.

Science Centre chief executive Stephen Breslin said the fun videos have been watched across the globe.

He said: "The reaction to Glasgow Science has been incredible.

"Hundreds of thousands of people from around the world have watched Terry the Teacake's space adventures.

"I was contacted from a former astronaut in Japan who wanted to congratulate us on the video and our work to inspire people with science. It really has captured peoples' imaginations and love of science."

On the latest stunt, Mr Breslin said: "There is an online craze of using impact gel and launching objects from a great height so of course, we wanted to see if it would protect a bottle of glass bottle of ginger- and where else to do this experiment than Glasgow Tower?"
