What purpose does American cheese serve? What problem does it solve?

    That’s just a simple Google search. I browsed this link & it seems acceptable enough. I also learned something new along the way: American cheese was formulated, discovered in Switzerland.

    TL;DR Long shelf life cheese, exceptionally good for military purposes, some people somehow prefer it or get nostalgic for it.

      Great article.

      That being said, Five Guys’ Kraft American cheese isn’t the same as the Kraft singles you can pick up at your local grocery store; it contains a higher percentage of cheddar cheese and butter, giving it that same craveable melt paired with the punch of saltiness from cheddar.

      Sneaky bastards! I knew they had a secret ;-)
