New taste is not great

Hands down my favorite breakfast food as I can't eat eggs. Just this morning I got some of the new recipe and it was shocking enough of a different taste to make me go online. I don't taste any brown sugar or maple. I keep seeing people talk about maple syrup but do you know you can get granular maple sugar? I always assumed that was what was mixed in the past. The new taste isn't terrible, it definitely tastes more like slow cook oats, which again, isn't bad but not what I expected or wanted. Its unpleasant enough for me to write a poor review. Since I can't eat eggs, wheat or honey, might just have to make my own oatmeal.

I love this stuff!!

I tried oatmeal for the first time in my life about a month ago and I decided that I really really like it. So I bought a box and started eating it every morning, and within two weeks I had lost 4 pounds! I tried almost all of the other flavors and decided that I like maple and brown sugar the best, but the other flavors are quite good too. (Not the weight control ones though) Some days I add a little cinnamon to mine to add a little extra flavor. I hope that Quaker keeps the formula just as it is because in my opinion it is perfect!

I'm sad

Like many people have mentioned, the new formula/recipe/whatever doesn't compare to the old. I returned to the US for the first time in a few years and bought these in hopes of reliving the deliciousness of my childhood and I'm just greatly disappointed. At first, I thought it was just the tongue of a child vs. the present me, but since I'm by far the only one, I can say quaker made a mistake. I hate it now.

As Good As It Gets

I am 66 years old, and I grew up with Quaker Oats and all Quaker prducts (I remember it was between my 4th and 5th grades when Life Cereal first appeared). I have always love Quaker Oats, and when the instant oatmeals appeared, I tried and loved them all, but to me the most delicious was the Maple and Brown Sugar -- simple, with just the right accent to the original plain Quaker Oats flavor. The others are all great, but the Maple and Brown Sugar has a special place in my heart !

Tastes like paste

What have you done to my favourite cereal. I would have Quaker maple and brown sugar instant oatmeal every morning and sometimes after work if I didnt feel like cooking, but the texture now feels like wallpaper paste. Please bring back the old one or at least let people choose the paste or the original. I prefer the original maple and brown sugar.

New change to ingredients TASTES HORRIBLE!!!

I have been eating Quaker Instant Oatmeal - Maple and Brown Sugar for years for breakfast and now I am searching for something else. WHY did you change the ingredients? Can't the people who want a healthier oatmeal just eat the one with less sugar??? If I wanted a healthier oatmeal that's the one I would chose to eat. This is ridiculous, so now all of your loyal customers are forced to find a substitute for something they've looked forward to everyday for years?!?!?!?! I'm sorry to say that unless you change your recipe back to the yummy recipe that we all love, that you've lost a customer and it sounds like I am not the only one.

MY GO TO SNACK

I love my oats a lot! I've always loved a bowl of hot cereal because I can put anything I like in it and make it work! Add fruit and honey and you've got a delicious sweet treat! I sometimes make it with milk instead of water and boy, oh boy... does that make a creamy treat! I have the ones you cook and the ones that come in the instant individual servings. Can't go wrong! Add your favorite additions and you'll have a healthy, nutritious treat.

What have you done???

Your “new reformulated” maple and brown sugar instant oatmeal is absolutely awful. Did anyone in the lab actually taste it before changing the recipe? My husband had been buying this stuff for years and just threw the rest he had purchased this week in the garbage. (He had thought the packages he bought last winter were stale not realizing the change in formula.) We won’t be buying any more. You might suggest that the Quaker Board of Directors have a sampling at their next meeting. Just remember what happened to Coke once……

It's still great...!!!

I'm so disappointed in the negative comments from the folks that have been eating Quaker since the 70's!!!! This hasn't changed...YOU HAVE!!! (Please don't try the Cap'n Crunch you old farts!!!) Just had a dbl bowl of Maple/Brown Sugar. I'm so satisfied...happy actually! Continued Success (apologies for the attack...I'm just kidding...stay healthy above everything)
