Bottom Line
While Quaker Instant Oatmeal, Strawberries & Cream, 10.5 Oz, used to be a childhood and family favorite, changes to the recipe have not met consumer expectations. The new overly artificial flavor and unappealing visual appearance have led many to express their dissatisfaction and a strong nostalgic connection to the original flavor. If you're searching for a 'Strawberries and Cream' variety, you might want to consider exploring other brands that provide a more authentic and satisfying taste experience, like Bakery on Main's strawberry shortcake flavor, which has been noted for better taste and quality.
