The Rules
Posts must be:

The problem actually lies in the “cheese” slices. THEY AREN’T CHEESE .
I’d be pretty irate if I got served that stuff in a cafe.
well, that's not entirely true, they aren't eclusively cheese
RedNile (or BlueNile?!) disagrees with you
I mean they're not pure cheese but they definitely contain real cheese. As fun as it was watching Nile Blue mess around, the recipe to make fancy versions of American cheese with fancy cheese (that is practical to do at home) has been known for a long time.
You are correct, it's "pasteurized processed cheese product," but for brevity most of us just call it cheese.
One of the many things I do not miss from living in the US is the range of ersatz foods which have replaced the real thing in the popular market.
I'm generally not a fan of the stuff, but one of the few places American "cheese" is good is a grilled cheese sandwich.
I'd still prefer a sharp cheddar myself, but American is acceptable.
