The mapping of optimal paths in the strong disorder limit to the strands of invasion percolation clusters is shown to lead to a new universal property of these clusters. We suggest that the corresponding strands arising in the annealed Eden growth process are in the same universality class as directed polymers in weak quenched disorder with an upper critical dimension 6.
