A few months ago, I asked this same question on another board and never did get a good answer.....
I know this is a small thing in the bigger scheme of things, but I gotta know..
I saw a video one time, of how they make Teepost clips and they come off the bend,stamp line in a pretty orderly fashion but that's not how they come to us in the buckets or bags.
Do the companies go around to the insane asylum halfway houses and vet specific people..looking for the most perversely sadist sonofagun they can find, awarding the job to the one that can tangle the dang things up the most in the shortest amt of time as they bag them up?
Is there some sort of federal law or rule that says that's the way they have to be bagged?
Do they get paid a bonus if random samples indicate it's impossible to get a single clip out without tearing the container open and dumping the whole wad of clips out on your tailgate?
Do they send them to specialized school to learn how to turn individual clips into a single wadded up tangled mass?
Does their QA guy reject the whole run of clips if he finds one bag you can get a single clip from all by itself?
I bought a bag of a hundred 5/0 treble fish hooks one time, the ones for dough bait with the springs on the shanks that weren't tangled up as bad a bag of teepost clips are.

he finally came to me and told me that he couldn't find the right position....I asked him how it felt to be playing with the adult version of a barrel full of monkeys?.....he still didn't get it, so I told him ya just gotta work them 1 at a time....he asked if there was something else he could help with....
