The old fashion has changed I don't care what you have to say it's changed. The new stuff is hard and like chewing on a thick piece of paper. And, doesn't matter how long you try to cook it! For somebody who's diabetic and can't eat regular sugary cereal, I have been eating this for years. Now that you have changed this I will start looking for a different brand...

I grew up on Quaker Oats and insisted that my husband buy the real deal. What a mistake. Instead of the soft oats that I remember, they have been "morphed" into shiny coated oats that seem impenetrable to liquid. I made apple crisp from a 40 year old family recipe that ended in disaster. On my second attempt, I tried to crumble the oats in my hands before mixing but they literally "wouldn't break". Whatever you did to the original oats, this is not progress. I went online to question the change in Quaker Oats and apparently, I am one of many who are complaining. It suggested that this new technique increases the shelf life. We did not buy them to store in bomb shelters. I want comfy, cozy oats for oatmeal and baking for my family today. I will buy generic from now on. It is a sad day because you went too far.

I don't eat oatmeal (diabetic), but my son eats huge bowls of it and can't seem to get enough. He makes it in the microwave with water, a little cream, butter, salt and a little maple syrup. I'll keep buying it for as long as he keeps eating it like that. No sugar needed! I have tasted it, and it's very good.

Quaker Oats' old-fashioned rolled oats taste better than the various store-brand oats available at grocery stores, including Walmart. However, you are paying a premium for the Quaker Oats brand. I used to buy Walmart brand rolled oats, but in 2025, their rolled oats began to taste stale. This includes purchases at three different Walmart stores in my area. So, I've been switching to Quaker Oats for a while. I may test Walmart rolled oats in the future to see if the taste has improved. I'd rather pay more for the quality I expect, and that's what you can expect from Quaker Oats.

old fashioned Oats' are my favorite. I use Quaker brand regularly. They're perfect for my breakfast needs, digestive issues, and weight control. I don't know about the heart healthy stuff I hear about (or read about) over the years. I'm just giving comment to my personal experience. I boil 2 parts water first, then add 1 part oats. Stir in whatever you have a taste for (Raisins, Prunes, etc.). Put a lid on the pot with heat on low for about 2-3 minutes. Top off your bowl when ready with nuts and fruit... or not. Remember... this is for your health! So don't get carried away.

It still taste the same as it did, over 10 years ago!

A good, healthy, fast breakfast. Add some fruit.old time

We love a nice warm bowl of oatmeal on a chilly morning. We add a little cinnamon and walnuts
