Thanks for looking that up. I've never bought any "flavoured instant
oatmeal". It's Bruce again pushing his belief everyone in North America
consumes massive amounts of sugar. On the rare occasions I eat oatmeal
I add a bit of brown sugar to it but not to the point it could really be
called "sweet". I actually like the taste of oats.
