IMHO, it has three purposes:

a grilled cheese on cheap white bread with enough butter to guarantee an acid reflux episode
melted on Chef Boyardee ravioli
on a slice of apple pie

If your Kraft singles are too precious, I think the Dollar Tree brands stray even further from gods light.

wtf would you put that on apple pie? Pie deserves a nice sharp white cheddar

Wait wtf you put American cheese on your apple pie?!?

Nononono that’s where the ice cream goes. Maybe whipped cream

  I think it might be an “older people in the south” thing. (Like all boomers and older I’ve talked to about it know about it, usually not younger) I worked at a diner for a bit, and it would be Silent Generation types that would order it.
  
  It’s pretty good, but real cheddar would be better. It’s that similar salty/sweet combo that makes French fries and a McFlurry better than sex.

    i heard of it as kid on some cooking show on PBS in the 90s. I thought it was super weird, but my mom had heard of it. Except it was cheddar cheese, not american. I tried it and thought it was pretty good, so i bring it up when people talk about apple pie. it never fails to weird them out if they’ve never tried it!
