Neat, but academic, because as everyone undoubtedly knows slicing bagel into a Mobius strip is far more practical. Not only does it give you a surface for jam-and-buttering, but also keeps the construct in a single piece ensuring an unbeatable simplicity and predictability of the user experience. It's the same technique as in the article, but the knife needs to rotate at the half of its angular speed as it goes along bagel's diameter.

Yeah, but if you drop it on the floor it is guaranteed to land jam-side-down 100% of the time.

It will fall jam side down 100% of the time even if it's not a Mobius strip. It's the law.

The OP structure can be reassembled into a sandwhich after dressing. Key feature.
