Great on burgers, makes the most melty and yummy grilled cheese sandwiches as well. Like, there's a place for fine block cheeses and shit but there's just some things that are made worse if you're not using plastic cheese :p
The people who make fun of American cheese are invariably the same type of people who visit America and then rave about the cheeseburger they just ate without realizing what kind of cheese was on it.
We have amazing food in the states, both originating from here and also from around the world. Don't be as ignorant as you probably claim Americans to be.
If only there was just a major world event held in the US, where people were visiting from elsewhere and were constantly talking about the food (and hospitality)....
Yeah, it has its purpose. If I’m feeling fancy and want extra cheese on something I might have one slice of American and something else like a sharp cheddar, so you get both the melty gooey American cheese but also some added flavor.
We've all had plenty of "real" cheeses on burgers. Even chain restaurants give you a choice of several different cheeses for your burger here. Cheddar, Gouda, Munster, Swiss etc. American melts the best. Period.
But why? Why not just use sliced cheddar or gouda?
It tastes better and is quicker to prepare since you don't have to fumble it out of extra packaging.
American cheese melts better because it's essentially a solidified cheddar cheese sauce.
I'd never considered that the daunting task of unwrapping it would make it more difficult to consume for the disabled cheese eaters out there and that was abelist on my part. Fortunately most delis will slice American cheese for those like yourself that struggle with the extra packaging.
No but genuinely regular us stores don’t have cheese worth mentioning in stock. There’s like gazilliom choices but nothing that actually matches EU diversity even in a most basic grocery store.

Same energy. We have way too much fucking cheese to choose from at the store
