Quaker Instant Oatmeal Maple Brown Sugar 8ct

I did not receive my third item I will dispute this on my card

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!

I'm so sad you changed your recipe. I couldn't even finish one packet and then tossed the whole box. It tastes awful. Please bring back the original as an option.

I like Robert Kennedy Junior, but he ruined your quaker oatmeal. I pitched it out. Doesn’t taste the same. It’s awful. I won’t buy it again. Sorry.

Yesterday, I would've given this a 5 star review as I usually have 3 packs with my tea every morning. Then I replenished my supply with an 18 pack from the market. When I made it this morning it was TERRIBLY salty. I thought maybe something was wrong with one of the packs or the water so I grabbed another pack and made a small sample to try. I can only compare my beloved maple and brown sugar oats to what I imagine is what a rusty anchor from the bottom of the sea tastes like. So salty and off putting, I am in shock. 42 years of this beloved instant sweetness that got me through my cold morning bus stops, rushed work mornings, homesick deployments, and now lazy retirement has betrayed me. I'm almost scared to buy another box, will it happen again. Fool me once, shame one you. I don't want to be the fool again.

this package was delivered to me with box open and missing item

I ate this almost daily as a kid. A very long time ago, but not so long that I don't remember Exactly what it used to taste like... Idk what you guys did to it but it's simply awful. I couldn't even finish my bowl. It's oatmeal and sugar- how can you screw it up So Badly?

Have loved this for the longest time but you had to change it up. Don’t call it brown sugar, when it has no sweetness to it. Wish I had not bought the bigger box.

Your shrinkflation is out of control. You are putting so little oatmeal in the packets that the cooking directions are no longer accurate. The 2/3 of a cup fill line on the packets isn't even accurate anymore. I just used a measuring cup to validate this. It actually only holds 1/2 of liquid up to the line. And when you add only 1/2 cup, the oatmeal still doesn't thicken up after more than 2 minutes of microwaving, indicating there is very little actual oatmeal in the packets.

What can I say, So they improved the recipe to make it healthier and well it taste worst, but isn't that the trade off, health food usually is bland and weird texture, that's why I choose junk food, but you can't have it both ways so I will adjust to the new taste and texture it's not horrible just different I am glad it's healthier. Nice to see a company try to improve.

Why didn’t the Canadian recipe change? Seems only USA proucts go through recipe changes.

This had been my breakfast meal for years but no more. After increasing the microwave cook time it still seems undercooked and is like eating flavorless, indigestible wet cardboard. The sweetner is awful and sticks to the inside of the packet requiring manual removal. I guess I'll add Quaker Oats to the growing list of companies trying to fix things that weren't broken.

I got two boxes of these for my daughter. She took one bite and spit it out. I thought she was being dramatic, but nope, she was right. Terrible awful gross. It’s nice to come on here to find out your daughter isn’t crazy!

The flavor sucks. Why screw up a good thing? Bring back the original recipe.

TERRIBLE! Too sweet. What are the ingredients/chemical composition of ADDED SUGARS? Is Sugar Alcohol an ingredient of regular maple brown sugar? DISAPOINTED. The new formula does NOT even deserved 1 star - I would have rated it ZERO. I was a loyal customer of the product 50 years & I will never purchase it again.

Found mouse droppings in my oatmeal, had to throw the whole box out.

I have eaten maple brown sugar (SUGAR) oatmeal for a long time, mostly every day. I bought another box while out of town a few weeks ago and noticed the aftertaste was weird. I had been having headaches almost every day and decided to look at the box today. I guess I didn't notice that it said Quaker Instant Oatmeal "Fiber & Protein" on the box. This has Stevia in it. Stevia gives me headaches and has a terrible aftertaste. I'll have to hand it to you, Quaker, I didn't notice too much of an aftertaste for a few days, but today it was truly noticed. Now, my headaches are totally understood. Why in the world would you do this? I guess I will check all of the boxes/items I pick up from now on. Use real sugar then headaches and aftertaste won't be a problem.

I've been eating Maples and brown sugar for over 40 years. Did you recently change the recipe? It tastes like crap now .... so disappointed. Go back to the old formula please!

I'm so disappointed in the negative comments from the folks that have been eating Quaker since the 70's!!!! This hasn't changed...YOU HAVE!!! (Please don't try the Cap'n Crunch you old farts!!!) Just had a dbl bowl of Maple/Brown Sugar. I'm so satisfied...happy actually! Continued Success (apologies for the attack...I'm just kidding...stay healthy above everything)

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.
