Us real Americans make our own cheese with melted plastic and yellow food coloring. We don't need that commie dairy shit.

American cheese isn't made of plastic in the sense of polymers, it is plastic in the sense of being easily deformed or molded.

At its most basic, American cheese is literally just cheese, water and sodium phosphate. It's "not cheese", but in the sense that meatloaf isn't meat and mayonnaise isn't eggs.

"American cheese" was invented by a Canadian.

It's also just cheddar with an emulsifier and some milk fat. You can make it in your kitchen in a few minutes.
