Pshaw, dunk rejected! American cheese is a better product and better cheese than most give it credit for! Wish I still had the wall of text I stumbled onto that helped me see the light, I’ll never do it justice.
But basically it’s cheese with an emulsifier built-in, which was a true innovation when it was introduced. And that’s why it melts so easily - you can even add some to other cheeses to get them to be more melty and gooey! American cheese makes other cheeses more cheesy - that’s a solid W with nothing else needed.
But I mean…it’s also, just self-evidently, incontrovertibly - the best cheese for a cheeseburger. I will fight IRL over this lol.
That other comment or post I’m thinking of went into the “grades” of it, and how much actual cheese is or isn’t in some varieties, but I don’t remember those details sadly.
I’m eating ramen with a slice of American cheese in it right now and there is not a THING either of you can do about it!
Cheese goes on everything, fight me!
If we don’t like it, that just means more for you!
American cheese doesn’t count.
