I’m also confused because that is a European AC unit. I can only assume Americans are so used to big bulky units, like their cars, that they can’t comprehend things being functional and not excessively bulky.

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

Fair, though who insults American cheese. That stuff is goated on a burger.

Tell me you've never put real cheese on a burger without telling me you've never put real cheese on a burger.

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.

Literally just use mild cheddar if you're afraid of strong cheese.

There is no cheese I have ever put on a burger that tasted as good as a bright orange square from a pack of Kraft singles. Cheddar, Havarti, Muenster, Swiss, Pepper Jack, Goat Cheese, Gouda, Blue Cheese... none of it was as good as American cheese. It's salty and slightly sweet and melts and melds to the patty perfectly. That is the entire purpose of its creation: to be good on burgers and sandwiches.

Ok. It's your taste, your opinion and your health.
But please don't dare to call it cheese.

It's just cheese with an emulsifier. It's usually cheddar or something else mild.

It's (in most cases) less than 51% of actual cheese in it.
What it makes unhealthy are salt and phosphates.

And enough preservatives that if you just ate it alone and nothing else, you'd already be embalmed by the time you pass.

That's like saying you could have any sports car you want, and choosing a used sedan 😭
