Technically speaking, the definition of American cheese is a cheese that is "plastic" (as in pliable but maintaining shape, not as in synthetic). This contrasts to hard and crumbly cheeses, and soft cheeses. Certain cheddars do count as American cheese based on this definition.

Processed cheese products, such as cheese sauce or cheese singles, are typically made from American cheese mixed with additional whey (also known as "modified milk products", depending on label laws) and citric acid (also known as acidulant) which gives it its unique texture and taste.

I mean, there are other cheeses that I'd much rather have (say, with crackers), but this is the quintessential cheese for drive-in burgers. Nothing is better than a small, rural burger drive-in with a tiny little window where they take your order and hand out your food. Chili cheese fries, sundaes, homemade corn dogs and onion rings. I'm not being facetious when I say that if you don't have this where you live, I feel bad for you. Like, I am actually saddened some people don't know this feel.

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.

last year, high off my previous culinary successes in the kitchen, decided that id try my hand at making a queso dip. i pulled up a recipe online that asked for white american cheese--preferably from a deli. well, it was 9 pm and there were no delis open, but i was not going to allow this to stop my quest, and so my roommate and i ventured to kroger and visited the packaged cheeses kept behind glass cases.

well, they didnt have any white american cheese blocks, but there were kraft american cheese singles, and after a quick mental to-and-fro, i decided that was what we would buy--and along with a bag of store brand tortilla chips (because the college student budget doesnt allow for much), we headed home to birth this potentially delicious queso dip.

well, i started following the recipe as well as i could, following every step meticulously save for the one concerning cheese. while it asked for a block to be melted, we had... singles. so my roommate and i stood there quickly unwrapping singles and tossing it into the pot one by one, creating a plasticy tower of freedom cheese. it definitely burned a little. actually, it burned a lot, but what survived the charcoal-ening went on to be mixed with the rest of the ingredients... resulting in what i can only describe as Kraft Broth.

it was disgusting. it smelled disgusting, its aroma on par with the chemical warfare of world war I. i dipped a chip into it, as did two of my other roommates (the fourth outright refused) and tasted it--it was "good". then we had another. it was "okay." then a third.

no one ate a fourth, and that pot did not survive the ordeal.
