I have eaten maple brown sugar (SUGAR) oatmeal for a long time, mostly every day. I bought another box while out of town a few weeks ago and noticed the aftertaste was weird. I had been having headaches almost every day and decided to look at the box today. I guess I didn't notice that it said Quaker Instant Oatmeal "Fiber & Protein" on the box. This has Stevia in it. Stevia gives me headaches and has a terrible aftertaste. I'll have to hand it to you, Quaker, I didn't notice too much of an aftertaste for a few days, but today it was truly noticed. Now, my headaches are totally understood. Why in the world would you do this? I guess I will check all of the boxes/items I pick up from now on. Use real sugar then headaches and aftertaste won't be a problem.

My son loves the Apple and Cinnamon flavor but lately the cinnamon flavor in that and the cinnamon and spice one taste and smell so off, it actually made me sick. Me and my son are oatmeal lovers but I don't know what happened. It seems unsafe to eat, it's absolutely disgusting.

They've changed the taste of it and the new version has neither the taste nor texture of the prior version. I used to actually like their oatmeal. This though is worthless, but probably cheaper to make.... It was the only brand we bought. Not anymore.

After a string of store brand generic oats for my fibrous intake, I decided to splurge and pick up a box of these maple and brown sugar lovelies. Sweetness was just right, not too faint and not overpowering. Only downside was that I was unsure about the texture in relation to doneness and thus burnt my tongue because I nuked it for too long. Pretty good, would probably buy again when I'm out

I ate instant Quaker oats maple and brown sugar weight control in the morning 2 days in a row. I have an odor of maple now coming from my skin. I am a nurse and have washed my hands numerous times today. I also have used hand sanitizer to try and get rid of the smell. It is strong enough that I have had people tell me that I smell like maple syrup.

The taste is terrible, and based on these review with more than 40% of consumers not being pleased overall that should be alarming. But what has me frustrated is that there is no indication that there is a new taste prior to purchasing it. I would really like my money back!!!!!

I haven't eaten oatmeal in years because I never really cared for it but in an effort to eat healthier breakfasts, I decided to buy some and try to force it down. SURPRISE! I didn't have to force it down, I loved it! Now I look forward to trying some other flavors!

I have been eating the M&BS for over 20 years,and was so let down a few years ago when they changed the flavor.so I did not buy it anymore.Untill I came across the new package in store marked Clasic, so I tried it, and it was great......Thank You for bringing it back

I used to eat the maple and brown sugar oatmeal every single day, and now since they changed the ingredients, I’ve never had one box of Quaker Instant oatmeal in my cupboard. It is absolutely disgusting and the texture is horrible. You lost a long time customer. And you’re losing a lot by the looks of it. You reply and say you’re not going to change it back to the old recipe, which I find is very ignorant towards your valued customers. Never buying this product again.

I've enjoyed my Maple & Brown Sugar Oatmeal for as long as it has been around (I'm 75). However, not long ago I brought some home and discovered it was not what I was used to. It tasted like the paste that I tried eating when I was in the first grade! I almost gave up on Quaker Oats when I found the flavor I loved in a box labeled Classic Recipe. Maybe, just maybe, this would be what I was looking for. And it was!! Congratulations to Quaker Oats for making sure that the "original Coke" was still available. I wish them the best on the other versions...they're NOT for me.
