This stuff tasted good but I smelled like maple syrup the rest of the day. It's like it excreted from my skin and urine. Idk what they put in this ..that they DONT list on the label but this was very concerning having the smell on me all day. Even my boyfriend when he kissed me 8hrs later said u smell likes syrup. And when I went pee I could smell it.

I used to buy this oatmeal all the time, but the most recent time both the flavor and the texture seemed to have changed. The oatmeal is much more bland and the texture is very gritty and grainy almost like it doesn't cook all the way. This new taste/texture is almost repulsive and I would much appriciate it if you returned to making it the same way you did once before.

I think they must have changed the "natural" flavors used to emulate brown sugar and maple syrup. It tastes okay, but the smell is overwhelming. It tooks a long wash to get the smell off of my fingers. It's still somewhere in my kitchen, 12 hours later. I've washed the bowl, wiped counters, cleaned my sink, and microwaved water with vinegar to try and get the smell out. It's disgusting. And the longer it lingers, the most I associate it with something unnatural.

As a young man my Mom fixed us Quaker Oatmeal. I was not very fond of it at that time. I was having some health problems and the Dr. recommended I try Oatmeal. I purchased the Maple/Brown Sugar instant version as I love Maple. The product is good by it self but I made it much better by adding some Quaker Granola with fruit prior to heating. It is delicious.

Quaker oatmeal has been my everyday breakfast since the 1950's. When Quaker introduced the "new" instant version years and years ago, I was delighted because it saved time in the morning. I recently purchased two boxes of six packages of your recently changed product and I'll not buy any more. It tastes more like sawdust than oatmeal. I guess I'll have to go back to boiling the water and cooking the oatmeal for five minutes (unless you screwed that up too). Please bring back the old version!

I'm very disappointed in the taste of my oat meal. I have grown up on this brand and it has been a while since eating Quaker oats. The taste was bad, it wasn't expiried or anything. Whatever you guys use to use please go back. Every thing doesn't have to be new and improved, espically if the taste is going to be bad...

I like both the lower sugar and the original versions of this product and allways have. I don't notice much difference in flavor but I did start buying the lower sugar because the original had a lot of sugar. I'm convinced many of the bad reviews of this product were actually from customers that were eating the reduced calorie version and didn't realize it. It happened to me. The reduced calorie product uses an artificial sweetener is just awful. I smells bad, tastes bad, the taste stays with you all day and smell fills the kitchen for a long time.

I made some today I am not a person who generally enjoys oats. It was really tasty however the maple flavor was light but I found that well because I dont want it to overpower too much however it was still very bland. It tasted like sugary goopy oats. It also took around a 1 and 40 seconds to cook. I personally enjoyed these oats alot and they are a nice quick way to start your day.

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 :(

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
