    We bought some "Quaker Oates so simple" yesterday from Morrisons BOGOF

    Makes you wonder what else have undesirable things in, all mashed up, shudder the thought.

    I had some of these in my cupboard, and we have eaten half the box. Will never buy anything by Quakers again.

    This is a stupid attitude to take, if you discarded a company everytime they made a dumbass mistake you wouldn't be able to buy anything
