For the last two years I've been buying at least two boxes of maple brown sugar oatmeal every week. I ate it every morning and sometimes for lunch! A few weeks ago I opened my new box and had some for breakfast. It was horrible! It says 'classic recipe'? I thought maybe that box was a bad batch or something and bought a new one, still horrible! The texture is disgusting and it has no flavor! Not a fan.

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.

I love your products. This particular product, as with some of the other flavors, I have started making my own. The only problem with this product, for me, is that it is just too sweet. In making my own with the same ingredients, including Quaker Old Fashioned Oats, I can control the sweetness of it. Otherwise, good product!

I know we should all eat less sugar, but the new formula for this product has no taste of "maple and brown sugar." In fact, it has NO taste of maple OR brown sugar. It tastes like a weight control version of its former self. I can now purchase a store brand knowing I am not missing anything, and in fact hope the store brand will actually have some taste. This is sad -- as I have used instant oatmeal for over 30 years.

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 really liked this oatmeal, but the box that I bought last week tastes so bad :( It's not nice and sweet anymore, it doesn't have the nice maple-y taste that I loved. Also, the texture doesn't feel satisfying anymore, it feels like mush. Is there a reason for this? I'm really upset because it was my favorite :(

I've enjoyed Quaker oatmeal since I was a child. We didn’t have any flavors, but the original. However, a little milk, and brown sugar made a sweet treat before school. It is the perfect morning boost of energy. I have never had any problems with this product. I recommend it over any other brand. It packs a perfect combination of health and taste. I have many favorites, but the Maple and Brown Sugar takes me back in time.

Im so sad this was my favorite Quaker flavor! The strawberry used to be but the new recipe is awful, it reminds me of kids medicine. I guess they changed the Maple brown sugar recipe too, I wish they had made it apparent on the box I wouldn’t have bought 3. The best way I can describe it is tasting “dusty”. It’s not good but I can at least finish a bowl, the strawberries and cream is not edible to me. As far as I know the blueberries and cream is still good, I might just stick up on it before they mess with that one too.

Enjoyed the old version - just had a spoonful of this new version (should have clued in with new box art) and couldn't believe how awful it was. Like eating a sock. Ingredients using stevia - now an aftertaste that even my mouthwash can't get rid of. Into the compost with this.

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.
