Shoppers in China have been astonished after stocks of massive sausages appeared on the shelves of several local supermarkets.

The sight stunned customers in the city of Jinzhou, in Liaoning Province, central-west China, after they saw the super-sized sausages on Wednesday, December 6.

Called 'Sausage Plus', the meat products were reportedly sold at the price of CNY 19.80 (GBP 2.22) per kilogramme (2.2 lbs) as reported by local media.

Video footage from one of the stores shows people checking out the sausages, which lay piled up on a shelf like cordwood.

In a second clip filmed at a different location, a store employee can be seen coin-slicing one of the sausages with a cleaver before she hands it over to the person buying it.
