I hate oatmeal!

Unless it's flavored. Grits are better anyway!

Never! Grits all day.

One of the most wholesome cereals you can buy. Old fashioned version please. Add your own flavor enhancers.

with craisins

Some years ago, not knowing much about my genetic history, I went for a physical and was told that my cholesterol was higher than it should be. Not high enough to start taking medication at that point, but something I was going to need to watch in the future. I was astonished; while I've admittedly abused my share of alcohol and other problematic chemicals over the years, I've also worked out regularly with weights (never touched a steroid, might I add) and ran pretty regularly. At the time of the physical I had slackened off the exercise program for awhile (I was going out with my neighbor at the time, and figured, "Ah, she loves me like I am...why do I need to stay in shape?" Needless to say, we broke up not too long afterward), but was still chagrined by the diagnosis. I stupidly asked the doctor, "What causes this?" My doctor, a blunt guy who didn't mince words, replied, "Shitty genes. Look, step up your exercise, take a baby aspirin every day, and watch what you eat, and we'll see." So I did. I began eating salmon, watching the amount of crappy food I ate and decreasing it, consuming oatmeal, virgin olive oil, etc. Oatmeal, to me, is tasteless gunk, but a little milk and honey (literally) can "spice" it up, at least somewhat. A year or 2 later, I was contacted by my genetic mother and the re-union has gone great, but it turns out the doctor was right. Rather than list the diseases I'm genetically susceptible to (at least on my maternal side; my genetic father's family health was basically sound, but he smoked and drank too much over the years and died before I could meet him), it would be easier to list those I'm not susceptible to. Put it this way; besides high cholesterol, I'm susceptible to diseases I've never even HEARD of before (my late grandfather's sister, still alive and well and mentally sharp, has a condition that causes too much iron in her blood and she has to get it drawn out every month-- this is the kind of thing I might have to deal with in the coming years!). The good news is I recently went for a physical and everything seemed pretty good. I got a blood test, and haven't heard back from anybody, so I'm proceeding on the assumption that no news is good news. Whether it's the oatmeal, the accelerated jogging, the weight-lifting, the decrease in drinking and...well, other things, salmon, a better diet overall, or whatever...it's seems to be working, for the time being anyway. I'm pretty sure the oatmeal isn't alone responsible, as I don't eat a ton of it, but I'm sure not going to stop eating the quantity I do eat now. Just have to remember not to forget the milk and honey.

On a cold morning,yes!

Makes me sick just looking at it.

I really don't like oatmeal, but I do eat it once in a while for health benefits.

sometimes it is nice to have some hot cereal. Quaker oatmeal is good a cold winter day. it is great tasting and with a bit of sugar and milk it makes for a nice breakfast.

This is my favorite cereal made in the microwave with low fat milk, cinnamon, a little vanilla, a few banana slices and a couple of broken walnuts heated for 90 seconds. (sugar or splenda, too)

Goopy, mushy, and lumpy. I dreaded this stuff when I was a kid. It looks like vomit in a bowl. YUCK!
Oatmeal is suppose to be used for cookies and Cheerios

Love the berries 'n cream ones...the
apple and cinimmon one is really good too.

I love oatmeal and I have not had it in a while. I need to have it again.

I like hot cereals much better than cold. I also make cream of wheat alot.

The only good oatmeal is dead oatmeal.

Quaker Oatmeal is good oatmeal, not great, but good. When I buy Quaker Oatmeal(not often, since it is so expensive) I get Maple and Brown Sugar, and it is simply delicious.

I grew up on Quaker instant oatmeal, still am, and it's great. Whether already flavored or plain with my own flavorings added. When I was little my brother and I would always get Maple & Brown Sugar and add maple syrup to it. I like mine super thick, like cement almost, but if you say you don't like quaker oatmeal and you've only tried it liquidy/thick try the other way cause it tastes completely different. I can't stand it liquidy personally.

I grew up on plain ol' oatmeal, and now if I have a hot cereal, I prefer Malt o Meal. I think it's better for you too.(higher iron content)

The best cereal on the market. I love to stick to the good old-fashioned kind and add my own flavors/spices - the instant stuff is way too sugary for my taste and just does not taste as good as the do it yourself kind.

i like oatmeal more now than when i was a kid. the one thing i dont like about it now is the cleanup. its a pain

Yes, it's the best (but only the old-fashioned kind, not the instant or the flavored varieties). Having said that, I do admit that I add sugar or brown sugar, and maybe a little maple flavoring to spice it up, but overall, it's the best thing for you for breakfast. It does stick to your ribs (especially if you happen to spill some on the front of your shirt!).

mmmmmm so good. Quaker Oatmeal is not only nutritious, but you can make it as tasty as you want. Throw some raisins in there, maybe a little brown sugar and you got yourself a high fiber, sweet breakfast.

I've always been a big oatmeal, and an anything Quaker fan. Everything from cereal, to bars, to instant packages, to cakes, to squares, to cookies, etc... It's easy and quick to make (most of the time, all you need is water), is healthy, and comes in all sorts of flavours to please everyone. Props to reading the inspirational quotes on each package!

Quaker makes the highest quality oatmeal by far. My advice: swallow your pride and get the kids variety with the dinosaurs or sea creatures. It tastes better, and it's much more fun to eat.

I love quaker oatmeal, and for many reasons. I buy the huge tubes of oats that cost about five dollars, and they last me forever!! This oatmeal is very healthy and can gain added flavor by adding maple syrup or fruit perserves (my favorite!). I also like to add the yellow raisins that are a little more tart. Basically any fruit will add just the right touch. So in addition to being cheap and healthy, quaker oatmeal also tastes good (with the right additions). This is also a great meal because it will keep you full for hours. This classic is defintely a great choice for any meal!

Well, I only eat the instant kind but certain flavors taste terrible: Apples and Cinnamon, Strawberries and Cream. Yuck! My favorite is Maple and Brown Sugar. You really don't need to add any butter or anything to this one...yummy. ;-)

The quick oats in the tube canister are filling and have staying power. They are substantial though somewhat lacking in taste, so whenever I eat this, it tends to be in front of the TV or reading something so I don't notice the lack of flavor. The instant express varieties are mostly higher calorie, smaller portion alternatives to the original for those who can't tolerate oatmeal without much taste. Sure, some of them taste pretty good - Cinnamon Roll, Banana Bread, and French Toast are my favorites. However, the generic brands are much cheaper, and my taste buds can't detect a difference.

Good stuff. High on my list.

I eat it every morning - a very heart healthy part of a balanced diet.

I give it an ok as a warm breakfast cereal. I disagree that they are allowed to advertise it as a heart healthy product that it will lower your cholesterol when it doesn't. I think honesty in advertising is as important at a good tasting product.

The Peaches and Cream instant oatmeal is HORRIBLE I tried it twice and threw the remaining packets away! I would like to add that I love all the other instant oatmeals by Quaker, and have just tried the Cinnamon Roll flavor. EXELLANT!!!!!!

I OnLy EaT It If Its InStanT, And I OnLy EaT InsTanT Cuz' Im PooR, So FU(|< All Yah Ta H3/./., I'm OuT...PeAcE

Old Fashioned Quaker Oats--More nutrition in these then Quick or Instant. The quicker the cooking time the less nutrition because they mill (roll) the oat into dust. Got this right from the horses mouth when I asked then the difference between each one. Sweeten them the way you want. I can remember as a kid I hated it and would sit at the table for hours refusing to eat it, trying to outlast my mother.

Arguably this is the best of the lot. But, I’m certain it will never make it to the top of the list because it’s just not flashy enough. No sugar, artificial flavorings, or silly cartoon characters…just something that is truly good and good for you. If you can’t take it plain try dressing it up a bit with some raisins, honey, cinnamon or even a few chopped (unsalted) nuts. Just like your grandma said, this stuff will stick with you. It may also help some other things to keep from sticking with you – like bad cholesterol.

Quaker Oatmeal is a classic. If you need a boost of energy in the morning, this stick-to-your ribs hot cereal is a great bet. Its hearty flavor and creamy texture are very appealing, and it takes just a few minutes to prepare the instant version. I always add either brown sugar or maple syrup and raisins to my oatmeal, making it even better. The best way to eat Quaker Oatmeal, though, is to prepare the cookies featured on the box. My mom used to bake them when I was growing up, and they were delicious. Just thinking about those cookies makes my mouth water...
