    If you want ACTUAL American cheese, one that is real cheese, try “Land O Lakes White American Cheese”. That said, the Kraft Singles flavor carries a lot of nostalgia and acquired taste. It’s why some people prefer an Oscar Meyer mystery “meat” hot dog over something like an all choice cut high end dog. That’s why I said that it “hits”, not that it is best.

      Most American cheese sold through the deli will be good. LoL is good brand, Boars Head is good. The “deluxe” versions in the lunchmeat aisle are alright but a bit lower-end.

      It’s all about the cheese they use since American cheese is cheese with sodium citrate, that’s all.

      Kraft singles are not cheese… but even they’re fine on a burger or whatever application yu don’t really care and just want some sort of melty semi-cheesy thing. :)
