Hi folks, I am writing to you because the last cardboard tube container of the old fashioned oats has a hole in the bottom. The hole is the size of half a dime and is in the circular cardboard bottom. I still have the container and notice that it has codes imprinted on it: Best Before Feb 29 16 L141 I am certain you get enough bogus complaints. My motivation is to alert you to a manufacturing issue. If you are interested I will make a photo and email. This is not shipment or handling damage. I feel certain that the flaw is part of the creation of the container by the manner it intersects the crimped seam joining it to the main tube. The missing piece of bottom cardboard circle show where it is attached and the seam at the missing piece is undisturbed I discovered the hole when I was almost finished with the contents. Funny, the box was spillling a bit all along and I thought it was my mistake. I purchased at my local Publix grocery store in Atlanta. The cost is low and negligible and has no connection to my comments here. This is a first for me with any produce. It negates the security seal. David L. in Atlanta GA

I love my oatmeal with a little extra water, with brown sugar that I add to my own taste. I put it in a to go cup and "drink" it. Great for busy mornings-even the kids love it this way! I've been an oatmeal fan for as far back as I can remember- and I'm 51 now!!

Why does a single serving of old-fashioned oats have 27 grams of carbohydrates? Once you add milk and sugar (or honey) you're at about 50% of what your daily intake of carbs (72 grams) should be to minimize glucose production in the body. Can Quaker cut back on the 27 grams?

I grew up on Amish oats from an Amish grocery store and when I moved away from home I couldn't find any product that tasted as good until I started buying the Quaker Oats "Old Fashioned". I use them for a breakfast food and also for all of my favorite cookie recipes! Our family favorite is adding chocolate chips and peanut butter and it tastes like No Bake Cookies for breakfast! Delicious!

Yes, Old Fashioned Quaker Oatmeal is the best energy supplier , especially for these cold winter mornings. This has been my breakfast of choice since I was a little girl in the 1930's, growing up on Long Island. I still have happy memories of the Blue Shirley Temple bowl of steaming oatmeal with raisins (my mother's choice) and the delicious feel of "good."

As far as I'm concerned, Quaker Oats Old Fashioned is still the best oatmeal out there. (and the best value) It takes just minutes to make either in the microwave or on the stovetop. Then you can add any flavor you want! I prefer the texture of the old fashioned oats to the quick oats as personal preference and do highly recommend.

I have a bowl of this almost everyday. Don’t think that is boring because I mix up toppings all the time! I use blackberries, or apples and walnuts, and oftentimes a combination of cocoa powder, tiny marshmallows, peanut butter, and protein powder! The possibilities are endless.

I have been enjoying Quaker Oats since I was a toddler, which is well over 50 years now. It has always been a consistent reliability that it would be a quality product which I thoroughly enjoyed for breakfast and for baking. That is, until the last two containers I have bought. The first one I thought may have been a fluke, so I gave Quaker another chance. Nope, same thing...two new 'additions' to the regular, recognizable whole grain oats: flat pieces that look like blownout oats or some sort of chafe and - the totally unacceptable part - little rock-hard tan 'pellets' which do not soften no matter how long cooked and are impossible to chew. I have gotten to the point where I go through the dry oatmeal and pick out the offenders before I add the water. Hard to believe, but I get at least a well-rounded teaspoon out of every half cup. I would NEVER use this product in baking again. I could just throw the container away, but I bought the large size, so that just felt too wasteful. All I know is, after this container is gone, I will be looking for another brand, unless I hear directly from Quaker that they've gone back to the tried and true Quaker Old-Fashioned Oats. I have just read the other reviews and see many are expressing the same complaint, so I know it's not just me - something has most definitely changed in your O.F. Oats.

Old fashioned oatmeal is my daily breakfast so quality differences are very clear when compared daily. I tried my local grocery brand and found every bowl I ate had at least 5 husks. It ruined my breakfast many days. My Old Quaker bowls rarely ever have a single husk. I really appreciate a brand that is truly giving their product attention to quality. I’m now very loyal to my Quaker Oats!

Love this brand of oatmeal. It’s cost effective and really good with some cinnamon and oat milk or brown sugar and oat milk. I recently have been eating this all the time now that I’m nursing my son and it’s been said to increase your milk supply. I do have a good supply not sure if the oatmeal is helping but it’s definitely not giving me issues.
