I don't see the big deal -- it's made to put on burgers and shitty sandwiches and is, without a doubt, the only cheese you can use for a grilled cheese and NOT be an asshole. It's not for eating with wine and appreciating with your fake-ass refined palate. Think of it in reverse, would you waste an awesome greyure on a fucking grilled cheese sandwich? Doubtful. I constantly see people bitching about American cheese on the internet and I don't get it at all. It's good for certain things, and necessary for a few things, but it definitely isn't something worth getting pissed off about.

Nice redneck strawman argument. "Oh lord, not this fancy shit again."You can put other things on burgers and grilled cheese.

Same. I have no problem with American. It's the vanilla of cheeses... while it may not be anything special, it goes fine on just about anything. It has great melting ability and I prefer it in a classic, plain grilled cheese and in a cheese omelette for that reason alone. Also good for homemade mac mixed with other cheeses- again, for the melty consistency. American is ok in my book.
