My roommate and I loved your REDUCED SUGAR version of Maple & Brown Sugar flavor Quaker Instant Oatmeal and have eaten it for years. The reason we enjoyed it was that it was LESS SWEET than the regular version of this flavor, but still had a natural Maple/Brown Sugar element to the taste that did not overwhelm the flavor of the oatmeal itself. Unfortunately, your NEW "50% less sugar" formulation is a complete disappointment: Its phony-sweet taste overpowers both any sense of natural oatmeal or real maple syrup flavors. You've missed the point: We don't just want less sugar, we want it LESS SWEET!

I was a fan of the M and BS flavor instant oatmeal, and ate it every day! The recipe change a few years back and I couldn't stand the taste of it. Classic came into the picture and I was again a daily consumer, but now I am no longer able to locate the Classic. I would buy it bulk if I could find it. Now I mostly just eat toast for breakfast, while hoping the classic will return.

It makes me laugh that you keep responding that you changed the product to meet consumer demand yet all of the current reviews are telling you that the new taste and change is horrendous. Whoever ok'd the change should be fired as you have wrecked our mornings and no doubt any profit you would have made on the Maple and Brown Sugar line. No one will be buying it anymore because it tastes like slop! Did you not use a test market with taste buds before you decided to change it?

The last 2 purchases i've made of the instant oatmeal the Brown Sugar has been near solid rock. Ever after adding water, etc not all of those rocks break down. Which means the flavor profile is inconsistent, extremely sweet when you get a rock, or less from other parts of the bowl. In both cases the "Best if used before" is over a year away. Furthermore, its all packages in multiple boxes. Not sure what has changed with the quality controls, but my disappointment is rising. My favorite breakfast, may have to change to a different brand...

Reading the posts I agree. I tasted a big difference in the Maple and Brown Sugar Instant Oats. It tastes like paste! Please please bring back the original well-loved Maple and Brown Sugar FAST. I don't care if it is higher in calorie. If I wanted low calorie it'd buy that product.

I start every morning with a hot bowl of Quaker Maple and Brown Sugar Instant Oatmeal. It just gets my day off to a good start. It tastes great, gives me the energy to get going in the morning and doesn't give me that empty feeling after an hour. All this plus it is fast and easy to prepare. I HIGHLY recommend it.

I love the texter and flavor of maple and brown sugar. I never have to add anything to it to make it taste great. The easy preparation measuring cup is wonderful because I don't have to search for a measuring cup. I have never noticed this measuring cup line before today and I just love it. Thank you for making and offering such a yummy, fulfilling snack or breakfast. Forever me eating maple and brown sugar! Thank you so much, Edie

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!

Maple Brown Sugar is one of my all time favorite flavors when it comes to Quaker oats instant oatmeal. I eat this as breakfast and as a fast snack. It has just the right sweetness, and you can either eat it as is or add your favorite toppings (mine being apples, and when I'm feeling a little different a dollop of pumpkin).

My mom eats this oatmeal every morning without fail. She loves the taste of it. She is 81 and this oatmeal gives her the fiber her doctor wants her to have. The packets are measured out to the perfect size serving and she uses the microwave to make it. Overall Maple and brown sugar is her favorite.
