What is american cheese?

A 'cheese' that is so processed that they legally cannot call it cheese, they have to call it 'processed cheese product' or things similar. It's also usually dyed yellow when normally it'd be white from the awful ingredients used to make it.

I just call it fake cheese

That's not really being proud of it. It's kind of embarrassing really, since it's not real cheese..

That's the point of the post though. It's asking why we call it that like we actually want it related to us because it is embarrassing.

Yeah you're right then. I think it's just a nickname though or is it actually on the packages?

It's on the packages, usually like "American cheese slices/singles".

I love American Cheese. In honor of this article I wrote this poem. I hope you like it. It goes like this... ~ 'Cheese, cheese, American Cheese So satisfying to unwrap it from it's envelope like packet' ~ It started off as a Haiku but then I added a bunch of syllables until it was better.
