A to Z Monday

brought to you by the letter.......

O

as in OATS

I love OATmeal, always have.   I buy the instant stuff, but not the flavored ones.   I put sugar on mine, but not milk or anything else.

There are several brands out there, but I'm sticking with the Quaker brand as far as pictures go, because it was easy to find the vintage ads and pictures.   Any brand is good, just look at the label and if there is only one ingredient...rolled oats, then it's good!   Here's what wiki has to say about Quaker Oats Company.

Here is one of their first ads, circa 1901,  for Quaker Oatmeal....or as it was called then rolled oats porridge.

This is a Quaker OATS ad from 1905.   Funny how mom's still serve Oatmeal porridge.  I wonder how many cook the original rolled oats.   

I thought this was a strange advertisment for Quaker OATS....but you be the judge.

I know nothing about these OATS....but it popped up when I googled OATS...so here it is.

AND...I have to tell you there is a town not far from me here in Central Texas called Oatmeal, Texas.  I kid you not...check it out.


Now, head on over to A to Z Mondays and check out the other O words!   Hey, maybe you want to join us?
