    A CD is clearly homotopic to a torus, though…

    And the walls of a straw do have thickness…
    A straw goes:

    Gas - solid - gas - solid - gas

      If solid torus yes, if just the regular torus (surface of the solid torus) no. CD is homotopic to a circle and so is a solid torus.

        OK, that’s my ignorance. I didn’t realise toruses were usually hollow.

        Thank you for letting me know, you’re right and I’ve learnt something.
