    I see your Mobius donut and raise you a joined-edge butter croissant with chocolate filling.

    Please, for the love of all that is mathematical, stop calling this a Mobius strip.

    It's cool. Let's leave it at that.

    @Robotronic: No, it's not that, either. A Mobius strip has one side and one boundary. This does not qualify, and if you eat half the donut, the remaining half is still not a Mobius strip.

    That is no mobius strip. It is what you get when you cut a mobius strip down the center line though.

    @Nepherim: Close, but no cigar. If you cut a Mobius strip down the center, you get one large loop. If, however, you create a Mobius-like figure with an extra twist (is there a name for that?) and cut that down the center line. that will give you a chain link.

    A mobius strip has one surface. There are two surfaces clearly visible on these interlocked donuts.

    ...And the bagels come to think of it.

    @Cribbage Left: Yes certainly, I made a "real" Möbius bagel, and had it for breakfast on Saturday: [tweetphoto.com]
    It's much less photogenic though, and was really hard to toast

    @giryan: "Woah! How'd you get that nasty burn on your thumb? It looks like half the thumbnail was destroyed!"

    "I was uh... using a torch to toast a bagel I cut into a Mobius strip"

    "...WHAT? A... what?"

    "You know, a Mobius strip - a strip that has one contiguous side running along front and back continuously."

    "WHAT???"

    haha... really though, that's cool, at least to geeks like us. :)

    That doesn't look like a Mobius strip to me, more like to Toruses (Tori?) hooked together.
