Holy cow, "normal" oatmeal tastes bad! Blech blech blech! Two spoonfuls into this attempt and I don't think I can go much further. Eating three packets of much much much better tasting instant oatmeal would be better than eating three-fourths of a cup of this stuff (which absorbs enough water to make it look equal to three packets of the other stuff). Man, how does anyone eat this? It tastes like... well, not like much... a little like the sugar I added (but not in a good way, if that's possible). But the consistency is what's really odd. It slimes your lips. It's icky and mushy in your mouth (more than instant). It really has this gross slimy feeling, it hits your roof of your mouth and tongue before you start chewing.

I should probably have known this was too good to be true. There are no shortcuts and no easy ways to get healty. Oh well, back to instant tomorrow for me... and back to trying to force myself to eat as much of this as I can.

Blech!

Weird. I like this stuff better than the instant. All oatmeal is slimy and such, so...but the instant does things like coat your mouth with a layer of icky stuff. Or maybe it was just the last instant I bought because it was some of that cool ocean kind that had little eggs in it that became candy sharks in the blue oatmeal.

That oatmeal was cool, but the icky stuff so icky I never was able to finish the whole box. I probably ought to throw those packets out at some point, they're over two years old now.

Anyway, I'm not a big oatmeal person, but when I do make it, I put loads and loads of brown sugar on it and I think it tastes very good that way.
