But what exactly is “American cheese” then? I’d say this can only refer to this plastic crap. The US exported this yellow dyed cheap plastic curdled milk through McDonald’s

Pretty sure it got popularized by being distributed to the troops in WWI (and then even more in WWII), not with McDonald's.

Interesting!

I only know this type of cheese as cheap cheeseburger cheese.

But I can now find info about this "processed cheese" included in the rations for US soldiers.
