The little aluminum ring on the bicycle chain has a “hidden mechanism”, and very few people know about it so far

Sausages are a popular snack food widely distributed in supermarkets and grocery stores. Many people, especially children, enjoy instant sausages because of their delicious taste and convenience.

The packaging of each sausage bar is unique, with both ends tightly sealed by small aluminum rings, creating a challenge when trying to open them. While at home, you can use scissors to cut them open, but when you are outdoors or on the go, this becomes difficult.

Many people have had to use their teeth to bite the nylon part on the sausage bar, a method of opening that is not only difficult but also unhygienic. We will share with you the simplest ways to open them wherever you are.

What is the purpose of the small aluminum rings on sausage bars?

First, they are particularly resistant to oxidation and corrosion. A protective layer of aluminum oxide film is usually formed on the surface of aluminum products. The film is used to separate food and usually does not release harmful substances. However, it is not suitable for long-term storage of acidic and alkaline foods and wines. It also prevents food from reacting with air due to air leakage, avoiding food odor alteration and other unwanted phenomena.

Second, they have standard strength and hardness and are not easily broken. They also have good flexibility and can be made thinner, saving materials and reducing weight.

Third, they have low cost. Aluminum has low density and is a recyclable metal with higher value than steel. It can achieve good cycle and prevent waste. If replaced by plastic products, which are not durable and cannot be recycled and decomposed easily, it will cause more serious pollution.

Sausage products are usually cylindrical, rather than flat packaging. The packaging has a certain heat shrinkage ratio and looks more attractive, so there are not too many sealing options.

As a manufacturer of food equipment, consumer goods packaging is also our product. We provide various types and models of different clips suitable for U-cutting machines, automatic double-cutting machines, and other sealing devices. With high-quality aluminum, comprehensive technical specifications, and cost-effectiveness.

Here are some methods to open sausage bars:

Method 1: You can use a toothpick to rotate under the small aluminum ring at both ends of the sausage bar. By rotating the toothpick, the plastic part connected to the metal ring will break immediately, making it easy to open.

Method 2: Another similar method also uses a toothpick. Insert the toothpick into the adhesive edge of the sausage bar and then move it back and forth. This will cause the wrapping paper to break, allowing the sausage bar to be easily opened.

Method 3: If you don’t have a toothpick, you can hold both ends of the sausage bar, twist one end to the left and the other end in the opposite direction, and then pull and jerk forcefully. In this way, the sausage bar will be torn in half. Although this method is not very aesthetically pleasing, it can temporarily solve your problem.

According to health experts’ recommendations, you should not eat too many sausages. Regularly consuming a large quantity of sausages can cause health issues such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and bone and joint problems. Therefore, it is advisable not to eat more than 2 sausage bars per day (for a normal healthy individual) and to consume sausages in combination with a variety of vegetables and fruits.
