Look at all these American simpletons who think there is anything of value on their pasteurized cheese product.
Imagine feeling attached to something so objectively bad, imagine letting this attachment cloud your judgment to the point you feel the need to defend it.

There is nothing good about American cheese. The color is a calculated shade brought by an immature expectation of what cheese should look like, and achieved trough artificial means. Its only reason to be is some food scientist thinking to himself "Well, this is what cheese looks like, right?"
The flavor is a mix of placebo and regret. While freshness or careful aging create the complex flavors of cheese, this American parody lacks such privileges, whatever aroma it may have is purely coincidental, whatever illusion of flavor it may posses is only due to the dopamine high Americans get when eating something fatty.
The texture is like softened wax, because that is what it most likely is. It covers your mouth in a plastic-like fatty layer that Americans love confusing for enjoyment.
And by far the most pathetic argument I see repeated over and over again, the fact it melts. The characteristic often posted as the sole redeeming quality is something shared by almost all substances in the world, that things soften when hot. Almost all cheeses melt, not that you would want to as different cheeses are meant to be eaten at different temperatures. But the ones that are often melted are superior, they impart great flavor, fat and texture, just look at mozzarella with its milky flavor and stringy texture even after melted. American cheese only serves as a brightly colored layer of fat, might as well top your burgers with some butter, you will get much better results that way.

American cheese is the margarine of cheese. A publicity stunt for a cost-cutting measure that Americans ate right up and now feel a worthless sense of nostalgia for.

I've found that it's always a good idea to have Kraft Singles on hand in the event of a power failure.

You'll want to do this ahead to time, of course, while you still have power. What you do, see, is put a pan on the stove and unwrap a pack of Singles and put the slices in the pan.

While they are melting, get a candle mold, and insert a wick element, and properly align it within the mold so that it is centered.

Then, when the cheese is melted, carefully pour it into the mold. Then, put the mold into the refrigerator for at least two hours. After two hours, you can unmold the candle. Ideally, you will want to wrap it in Handi Wrap, and store it in the refrigerator until the power goes out.

Then, you can light the wick and enjoy the Kraft candle. Not only will it provide light, but it will give the house that lovely rancid oil smell.

If you stored the candles in the freezer, rather than the refrigerator, then the candle will burn more slowly, with less dripping mess.

Really, it comes down to either low-effort bait, or cheap shots to desparately bolster thier crumbling self-image as doner kebab becomes the universal European dish.

>Do Americans really eat "cheese product"?

Well, do Japanese really eat instant ramen? Do Brits really eat Gregg's pasties? Do Canadians really eat Timbits? Do Scots really eat deep-fried Mars Bars? Do Australians really eat fairy bread? Do Chinese really eat bat soup? Do Mexicans really eat taquitos? Do Italians really eat pepperoni-pizza Hot Pockets? Do Columbians really eat powered donuts with cocaine? Do Germans and Swedes really eat refugee cock? Do Africans really eat?

The answer to all of these questions is the same: yes, of course they do.

But not every day.

It's not actual cheese. It's a processed cheese product leftover from WWII like how Spam is to actual meat.
