It is even it's covered in American cheese which adds no flavor and increases calories by a lot and it's on a bun made of American wheat, which increases calories by a lot and it's covered in sugary ketchup and it comes with fried potatoes and a large soda made out of corn syrup.

Turns a normal amount of calories into 2k calories when you add in all the crap.

American cheese definitely adds flavor; that's the whole point of it. Ketchup is meh. Fries are tasty, but admittedly quite bad for you. Diet sodas are a thing.

I find that American cheese takes away flavor from the burger. It's very very bland. To me, it's just not worth the extra calories for the taste.

What Americans call "cheese" can wildly differ from what Europeans are used to.

I'm an American. I find a raw slice of American cheese revolting, even on a sandwich. Always have since I was a kid.
