Quaker Oats Oatmeal Squares Brown Sugar Breakfast Cereal

One cup of this cereal provides enough iron for women and girls for a full day. Easy way to get your iron, ladies. Add some berries for some vitamin C and you’re good to go. Don’t mind these weird reviews- something is going on with negative Target reviews. This cereal is as crunchy and mildly sweet as it was in the 2000’s.

Not sugary and super tasty and crunchy!

This was legitimately the only cereal I would eat before. It had great flavor, kept me full for more than 30 mins, and had a great crunch. They changed the recipe and it’s terrible. They are airy/puffy now and are lack flavor, and very disappointing. Please change back to the previous recipe, because once the boxes I have now are gone, I will be done with this cereal.

My Grandfather is rolling over in his grave. They’re not even square, what the heck

New recipe taste really bad, please bring back the original one, please!

Great a at price.

A delicious cereal! My toddlers love snacking on them dry too! We will definitely be repurchasing !

Crunchy but not a bad texture. Good taste but very little brown sugar taste.

Not even close to being as good as the original recipe. Will not waste my money rebuying them.

This was my favorite cereal as a child. The change you made to the recipe is horrible, now it's nothing like the original. You shouldn't be labeling it as the same product with a change so extreme. There are so many reviews showing how upset customers are. Please listen and go back to the original recipe.

young and old...we love this! perfect desk-side snack. oats...good for us!

The 4 plus stars were given to the original cereal. The company has completely changed them, altering the flavour and they now get soggy quickly.

They shouldn’t have changed the recipe. It was my favorite cereal. They should change the name to square puffs.

I used to love this cereal. Now I’m gluten free and unable to partake in. Please make a gluten free version, preferably with brown rice flour as the wheat alternative.

I'm actually so glad I stumbled onto this page, because now I've found solidarity in the fact that so many others agree that the new version of this Oatmeal Squares cereal is awful, whereas I was genuinely obsessed with the old version. The pictures people have provided in these reviews are exactly what I've seen. I can't even bring myself to buy and eat this anymore. If you ask anyone who has known me my entire life, they'd all know I had a funny obsession with this cereal. I've probably spent more money on this compared to any other food. My friends would joke that I was keeping Quaker in business. I used buy so many boxes, every time I went to store. Guaranteed I bought more than any other person I know. But now I cannot find a single box anywhere across the US that has the old version of the cereal. In fact, I've noticed that every box now says "Made in Canada". Some major changes happened in the past year or so. I used to be Quaker's most ideal loyal customer and advocate. I would still pay nearly double the price of any other cereal to just buy boxes of the old version. It's been so long since I've bought and enjoyed the old cereal. I miss it so badly. If any company recreated it, I would be their loyal customer and advocate for life. I hope Quaker makes a comeback. This new version isn't even enjoyable. I don't know how a cereal could change so much that it could go from being literally my favorite food to something I no longer eat or tolerate. I'm happy to talk to anyone at Quaker about this.

Tastes like cardboard, no Brown Sugar what so ever in the cereal bite itself. Maybe in the milk it sat in. Texture is weird, Rectangular and thick shaped.

My opinion is in line with the rest of the 1 star customer reviews. I grew up eating this cereal and it stayed with me as an adult. The new recipe was an unnecessary change to a quality cereal. The new recipe lacks the dense long lasting crunch and flavor. They are now airy and light, they get soggy in milk in minutes. I hope PepsiCo will see these reviews and make some decisions to revert back to the old recipe. Its an entirely different cereal now and I won't be buying moving forward. Very sad to see this happen.

Quaker, why oh why did you change what was once a perfectly good product? IF IT AIN'T BROKEN, DON'T FIX IT! Everything about this product now (the size, taste, and texture) is horrible. Please change everything back to the original formula. Look at your recent customer feedback if you don't believe me. The people have spoken...

Sad because the original Oatmeal Squares Brown Sugar were so reliable that it's the only food I packed to take to the hospital with me when I delivered each of my 3 children! The new version is (a) not a square and (b) not good. The photos posted by other recent reviewers accurately show the change in shape. This is not the same product. Bait and switch?

Not only has the product changed (for the worse) with no fanfare, but the picture on the package is still the old/good version and not the product inside. Used to be sweet, crunchy, and oatey, now rough and cardboard-flavored. Really disappointing, Quaker, you used to be so reliable and now it feels like a bait and switch ripoff.
