Tried and didn't like it. I prefer cheese, brie for example.

Among nuts, peanuts are the cheapest.
Peanut butter is a cheap, effective, and fun way to get a mass of kids to eat a source of high quality fat and protein, but somewhat offset by the addition of sugar. That's America, for better and for worse.
Other sources of high quality fat are olive oil and avocados.
You grow nuts, avocados and olives in Finland?

Nothing wrong with nuts, I just prefer them au naturel instead of in the form of sweetened peanut butter.
No, growing avocados and olives here would be the worst business idea ever. We import them instead from the Western Roman Empire.
For the actual list and my take on it:
1. Lots of convenience stores here. No, they don't sell pharmacy products, it's against the law and IMO quite stupid
2. Yes, we have diet soda
3. Ice is unnecessary
4. Lots of iced coffee here
5. Finland has netflix
6. You won't survive in the countryside without a car. Heard of Finnish F1 and Rallye world champions? Driving is a national sport here
7. What the hell is froyo? Dunno what it is, so cant miss it
8. Most countries use the universal Europlug
9. Lots of outlets here... and you go there with a car
10. 24/7 drive thru exists, but there's really not a big market for them. My local burger joint closes at 2am on weekdays and 5am on Fri-Sat
11. Wi-Fi everywhere
12. True. No public bathrooms on the streets.
13. We have peanut butter. Don't expect to be served it, though. The answer will be "WOT? We not hav dis in Finland. That is Anglo-Saxon crap, perkele!"
14. And disposable cups as well
15. LOL, yes, Finns are
reaaaaaally touchy-feely and have no respect for personal space.
PS, get out of my face.
16. Don't like Law & Order
17. Smoking in public spaces is banned in most of Europe. Here as well.
18. Hardly a Finnish city exists where you can't find sushi
19. American football sucks. We have a league, though.
20. Don't care
21. Uhm, totally false. Only US phones don't work
22. Scared of some skin, eh? Join me in the sauna in a moment?
23. Water is free here
24. You'll forget Thanksgiving after one
Vappu and Midsummer festival
25. Ketchup is everywhere
26. Household appliances are everywhere
27. In a restaurant you'll always be asked if you want to pay separately. We are, after all, genetically related to the Dutch.
28. Try a Finnish thin pancake fried on a big black pan outside a summer evening, and you'll never touch an american one again

29. Public transport without AC is hell in summer. Luckily the summer lasts only for 3 weeks.
30. What's wrong with a water bottle? Dunno anything more unsanitary than a drinking fountain
31. Pizza delivery is a national sport in Finland
32. Birds and insects flying in is annoying. True dat.
33. Stores are usually open to 21:00 and 18:00 on Sundays, grocery stores to 22:00-24:00.
34. Whatever, and finish your porridge
35. Finland isn't a cash economy, only mobsters use cash and envelopes. Neither do we have the 1 and 2 cent coins

American pancakes can't compare.
