I second Nancy on the individally wrapped slices not being real American
Cheese. Most deli sections tend to have sliced american cheese. The kraft
deluxe is good, but I don't buy it since Kraft is importing milk from Canada
for their cheese making these days, and my dad, a dairy farmer, asked the
family to boycott kraft cheese products.
