CHOCOLATE CHIP INSTANT OATMEAL

‍

Discontinued: 2016

This was confirmed via a Twitter post from Quaker Oats in 2016. The parent company, PepsiCo, also discontinued their plain Chocolate flavor around the same time. If you want something similar now, they suggest their Cocoa and Sea Salt flavor as an alternative.

‍

SEA ADVENTURES

‍

Discontinued: around 2001

This flavor featured sugar chunks that dissolved in hot water, turning your oatmeal berry-blue and revealing candy divers and sea creatures. It was an aquarium in a bowl. Kids went wild for it, but it only lasted about three years.

‍

RADICAL RASPBERRY

‍

Discontinued: Unknown

Part of Quaker's "Kids' Choice" line that pushed hard to make oatmeal feel as fun as cold cereal. The name alone tells you everything about '90s marketing. Exact dates are fuzzy. But the product is in the dustbin of history.

‍

STRAWBERRIES & STUFF

‍

Discontinued: Unknown

Another Kids' Choice flavor from the same era. The "& Stuff" part was marketing gold, making it sound mysterious and cool. But it went out of style fast with its sibling Radical Raspberry.

‍

CINNAMON GRAHAM COOKIE

‍

Discontinued: Unknown

This flavor tried to capture cookie flavor in oatmeal form. It was part of the same push to win over kids who'd rather have dessert for breakfast. But parents were not buying it.

‍

OATMEAL TO GO BARS (VARIOUS FLAVORS)

‍

Discontinued: Around 2016-2018

These weren't instant oatmeal packets but bars that gave you "all the nutrition of a bowl of instant oatmeal" in portable form. Flavors included Brown Sugar Cinnamon, Apples & Cinnamon, and others. They vanished sometime between 2016 and 2018, sparking a Change.org petition from devastated fans. People loved these for breakfast on the run. But Quaker Oats just wasn't selling enough.

‍

CRYSTAL WEDDING OATS

‍

Discontinued: Unknown

These quick-cooking oats came with plastic tumblers inside the package. The company confirmed their discontinuation on Facebook, suggesting customers switch to Quick 1-Minute Oats. But fans claimed these were different, smaller oats that worked better for cookies. The tumbler was just a bonus.

‍

OATMEAL SQUARES CEREAL (CINNAMON AND BROWN SUGAR)

‍

Discontinued: Early 2024

These weren't instant oatmeal but a ready-to-eat cereal with compressed square oat pieces. The cereal disappeared from store shelves and the Quaker website around February 2024. Longtime fans were crushed. The cinnamon version especially had a devoted following.

‍

BAKED FLATS BARS

‍

Discontinued: Spring 2021

According to Quaker's Twitter account, these breakfast bars were discontinued in spring 2021. They were a good source of fiber and grains, positioned as an on-the-go breakfast option.

‍

BROWN SUGAR BLISS

‍

Discontinued: 2003

This flavor promised more brown sugar than standard varieties. It got recalled in 2003 because it contained undeclared almonds, which was dangerous for people with nut allergies. After the recall, it never came back.
