Old guy getting healthy on yumminess
I buy the big box...eat 2 packs every morning so yummy..I mix spice with the apples and soooooooo good....brown sugar with the apples is just as divine...wish there were more flavors in the big box so I could try other combinations like the raisins and apples sounds delicious 😋

I love it
Please bring it back in a package of just cinnamon spice. I hate having to buy a variety pack that includes it. I don’t like the other flavors. I only like cinnamon spice, please please

Recipe changes
They've clearly changed the recipe on these over the years and skimped on product trying to cut costs. Metallic and chemical flavors are prevalent. Really disappointing. I've gone to Kodiak for all my instant oatmeal and I guess I'll be staying there.

Not a fan of the change
Definitely way less sugar in the new recipe. I likely could have adapted to a gradual reduction in sugar. Long time purchaser @ 69 yrs. of age.

Changed not for the better
Something changed and its not good. Its palatable, But compared to the way it used to be... it's not as sweet, a bit more salty and lacks the creamy texture that I grew up with.

New formula is gross
I've eaten this oatmeal all my life and loved it. Recently I thought I had gotten bad batch since it tasted awful. Fake flavor and off taste. But a when another box was the same I went online to see if there was a change. And apparently they've changed the formula. It's awful. I guess I'll have to just make my own from unflavored.

Drastically different and not in a good way!
Eating this since I was a child and it is completely unrecognizable now. Ate one packet and throughout the rest of the box, it's absolutely terrible.

Too Salty!
The salt content is off the charts. It used to be my favorite flavor. Now it tastes like the bottom of a bowl of popcorn. Gross.

Your ingredients change SUCKS!!!
I thought I had found something I really enjoyed eating for breakfast and now you changed it up, to say it SUCKS is a understatement. I will try and finish this box I have, adding my own ingredients, but after that, you've lost me as a costumer. Did ya'll ever hear the phrase, If it ain't broke don't fix it. Bad decision on Your part.

Too Salty
I have not had the maple and brown sugar in some time. Tried it today and it was wayyyy too salty! Totally ruined it by changing your recipe or something. Its like you switched sugar for salt.

BRING IT BACK!
I don't know why this flavor is so hard to find. Please bring it back and don't change up the flavor when you do. It is the only Oatmeal I will eat and can get my kids to eat. We have tried many in substitution of this flavor because it's so hard to find and nothing compares. Please bring it back!

Change with Instant Maple and Brown Sugar Oatmeal
I'm 73 years old and I've been eating Quaker Oats since I was a kid, but this Maple & Brown Sugar is the worst I've ever had. First of all, the box is the same size as before, but there was only 6 bags in it. That's my fault for thinking there would be automatically 12 bags. The bags are larger, but if you don't use a larger bowl, you'll have a big mess. I put a plate over mine and put it in the microwave; works every time until now. The taste is horrible! You get more powered stuff than oats and whatever the powdered stuff is, it's not maple and brown sugar. One of your comments said it tasted like dirt; I agree! I threw half of mine out! You'll be losing millions of customers if you don't straighten this out soon because there are other alternatives.

BRING BACK THE OLD AND GREAT!!! FORMULATION!!!
This new formula is tasteless compared to the old one. 😞 I usually don’t like to give bad reviews, and customarily only take the time to praise. But this relatively new formulation of your single-serve oatmeal is just really so very awful that I think it’s important that you are informed. 😞 In addition to taste, the vitamin fortification took an hit, too, apparently, in the newer formulation. How do I know? I have very sensitive gums. And I noticed that whenever I consumed the old version, the Quaker brand single-serve variety packs, the apples and cinnamon, or maple 🍁 and brown sugar, or cinnamon and spice flavors, my oral gum tissue improved! So the fortified by B-vitamins old version was doing something healthy and good!! 👍 I do understand your logic: simpler natural ingredients is the consumer trend. But sometimes, and this is one of those times, I believe, it’s best not to mess with a good thing. And you had a really good thing going with your old formula. And I can see by the other comments of former!! habitual consumers, I’m by far not the only one complaining. PLEASE!! 🙏 Consider bringing back the old, and obviously beloved, formula. I bought it ALL the time and considered it a healthy addition to my diet. Now, I don’t buy it AT ALL! (And I wonder about the other disappointed consumers. Have they also abandoned you?) Especially give the B-vitamins fortifications a reconsideration. I bet there were many, many young kids who greatly benefited from them - as well as learned that something as healthy as oatmeal could compete - and win! - for their breakfast attention and consumption. Thank you.

made me want to die and rip out my tongue.
this was quite possibly the worst thing that I ever tasted. this oatmeal was so bad that after just one bite I thought about ending it all right there just form the taste. I will never be buying this flavor ever again and honesty it is a disgrace to the Quaker name. This was nothing but a money grabbing remake of a well done original for no other reason than corporate greed

Floury, mouth drying
I ate Quaker maple brown sugar instant oatmeal every single morning with berries for as far back as I can remember. Until you changed the recipe that is. Floury mouth drying taste, no matter how much water or milk I make it with. Then a friend suggested another store's brand maple brown sugar instant oatmeal and viola! It tastes exactly like yours used to, and it's less expensive!

New Recipe Is Awful!!!
This used to be delicious, and the recipe change that they made a few years ago is terrible. It used to be flavorful and had good maple and brown sugar taste. Now it’s bland and has worse flavor than just plain oatmeal. Also the texture is way worse. Instead of smooth and creamy it’s tough and chewy. Disgusting. Go ahead and leave the same stock copy/paste reply you leave everyone else about “changing consumer tastes” - I think the deluge of 1 star reviews here speaks for itself. This was a mistake and clearly driven by profits alone. Quarterly line must go up, forever!
