It might be, but the texture is different. I don't like the individually wrapped slices, but I will eat Cooper Sharp American.
I agree that some of the wrapped kind is not the same. Its more Velveeta-like. I have found that SOME of the wrapped American cheese slices taste just as good as the deli type. Really.

I was going to bring this up, too- I grew up with white American cheese and always preferred it. Moved to the west coast and it was nowhere to be found. In the midwest I found it at a Walmart a few years ago, but haven't seen it since. The closest I've found lately is Queso Blanco- I think Kraft makes it- but there's something about the taste that makes it different from basic white American cheese.
Also, personally, I don't see any diff between sliced and deli- other than the price tag.
I stopped buying the stuff in plastic wrappers it's really not that good. I buy fresh deli sliced American. It's hubby's favorite but then again he's like a mouse. He loves all cheeses except Limburger ( boy that stinks bad)
I buy American cheese slices once every couple of years when I get a hankering for childhood foods like simple grilled cheese (with a side of tomato soup!) and cheese and mayo on white bread. I almost never make omelets but I'm not opposed to American cheese in them; it can be just the right creaminess to melt into the eggs. I guess I'm a cheese snob cause I haven't touched canned Parmesan or Cheez-Whiz in years.
I much prefer good cheddar (tillamook is a fave) but its expensive so much of the time my family and I go with kraft (or if I'm shopping a store brand) of american cheese for most things you know like grilled cheese burgers sandwhiches etc. but yeah its mostly a budget thing if I could go with quality cheese all the time I absolutely would.
