Oatmeal, still a thing?

Weird question, my mom and I were discussing this, I have no idea why. Do kids still eat oatmeal? You know, the Quaker instant oatmeal in many different flavors? Or maybe good old-fashioned oatmeal?
If they do, is it regional? In other countries other than US?
I have a collection of microwavable bowls that my grandmother got by saving Quaker oatmeal labels or something. We use them almost daily for heating food in the microwave. They are color-changing with hot or cold food.
Just curious, as my son is grown and flown and never liked oatmeal anyway.

I don’t have children but I enjoy oatmeal. I use the original unflavored oatmeal cooked for 6 minutes and poured directly over a layer of frozen blueberries. Top with brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped apples. I think it’s really good.

You don't have children but you enjoy oatmeal? A recent study using oatmeal as the only source of food for 200 female participants over a 30 day period of time, concluded that a woman of child-bearing years has no chance of getting pregnant from eating oatmeal. I guess I'll try something else.
