Lesser Evil reviews and discussion

Reviews mention

  • Clean organic ingredients list
  • Distinct buttery flavor profile
  • Airy crunchy popcorn texture
  • Creative seasonal flavor lineup
  • Noticeable coconut oil taste
  • Occasionally light seasoning flavor
  • Inconsistent flavor execution
  • Crispness fades after opening

Lesser Evil earns strong reviews as a flavorful, cleaner snack brand that largely delivers—especially Himalayan Gold and Pink Salt popcorn, No Cheese Cheesiness puffs, Space Balls, and seasonal flavors—praised for airy crunch, authentic buttery taste without dairy, and simple organic ingredients. Reviews also flag weaknesses: coconut oil’s noticeable taste isn’t for everyone, some flavors run lightly seasoned or uneven, bags can stale or turn soggy after opening, and a few seasonal or cheese variants miss the mark.

  • I bought their puff snacks from whole foods with my mom, and I literally CANNOT stop eating them. It's a healthy snack for those who might be vegetarian like me and try to incorporate more protein and nutrition into their day and diet. Try to also save yourself some in the bag before you go back to the store for more ;)

    I totally would recommend it to anybody! You don't have to be on a diet for a healthy snack; these are great options. They're at Whole Foods and also ShopRite too!

  • The lesser evil cheese puffs and the sour cream and onion poppers are my go-to snack! They're light and airy and crunchy, all of which make them super satisfying to eat.

  • Lesser Evil snacks makes my absolute favorite popcorn in the world. I’ve tried multiple flavors and products and I cannot get enough of the pink Himalayan popcorn. It’s even better that it’s made with great ingredients! I pick some up every time I grocery shop

  • We sell these at my grocery store, lots of people buy them. Ive tried this and it is good

  • So surprised when I picked this up in the store and it was as delicious as i found it to be. Love the Himalaya gold flavor.

  • I buy this every time I am at the store!

    My family and I like to eat/buy Lesser Evil occasionally. We would buy it more, if there were more flavors. I give this brand an 9/10. It's taste very good.

  • Some popcorn flavors were almost stale upon first opening the bag. Others were fresh and tasty, it really depends!

    Maybe put a different color buddha icon for some bags? Just an idea

  • AMAZING popcorn!! I always need it stocked in my house because I love it so much. The golden one is my all time favorite, but have been loving the seasonal pumpkin spice and white chocolate matcha flavors. I have bought so many bags of popcorn from this brand and share it with my friends and family!

  • Great flavors for a low-calorie, organic snack but nothing compares to the "real thing" in terms of delicious buttery popcorn.

    Any way to make the popcorn kernels not get stuck in my gums? lol

  • Good products, but avoid if you do not enjoy coconut. I have tried their popcorn and puffs. Both of which have good texture, but a somewhat strong coconut flavor as they are made with extra-virgin coconut oil. Coconut was not my favorite, so the flavor was a bit overbearing. It does look like they have some options that are made with olive oil on the website, which look pretty good!

    Options that are made without coconut oil

  • I used to get lesser evil in between classes. It’s tasty and healthier than most chips out there. I recommend it for a easy snack that doesn’t have too much calories to it.

    More flavors for options

  • Tastes pretty good for a healthier option. Takes some getting used to though.
