The gently caress is the deal with those little metal dealies on the end of the sausage packages? Is there like a trick to get them off or are they just there to make you dirty a pair of scissors to cut the thing open? What jackass designed this I'm going to spit in his face

Sausage is a low margin product and it costs too much to modernize the packaging assembly line.

When the sausage gets put into the package it's still alive. The sausage is supposed to smother to death since it's best fresh, but they can break out of the packaging if it's not reinforced.

How else can they close the package and let a little meat stick out?

...and we liked it that way.
The metal clips seal the end of the casing before a sausage portioning machine extrudes a measured amount of meat into the casing, which is in a loose wrap around the output tube. When the dose is complete, the clipping machine folds two clips over the casing ( one to close up the finished sausage and one to start the next empty casing ) and then cuts the casing between the clips.

You're doing it wrong, OP. You're supposed to grab the sausage by the metal things, spin it around like you're rolling up a wet towel, bend it downwards until it splits open across the middle and then you just sloark! it all down your sausage hole.
