Immediately after reading this article, I immediately desired to see photos of this phenomenon.  I wondered whether it could demonstrate a deformation, or even better, a deformation retract from topology.
And then I wondered if this plastic only demonstrates phenomenon concerning elasticity.  Must it behave like a homeomorphism?  Can it change the genus of a plastic surface, or kill injectivity?
Curiouser and curiouser ..
