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.

  • If I could give their popcorn a million stars I would. It’s light and delicious. I go manic anytime I see it in the store (which is not often) and have to stop myself from buying multiple bags (although I really should). It gives the nicest almost buttery taste with none of the ick (and all the satisfaction). If I could become a bag of this popcorn, I would!!!

    I just wish it was easier for me to find. I maybe see it once every 10th trip to the store.

  • My absolute favorite "no cheese" popcorn. It's a must try for flavored popcorn lovers!

  • I recently bought lesser evils Spaceballs rocket ship Ranch with the organic avocado oil. They are delicious. I guess older kids like myself like them as much as younger kids. I like that they are certified as gluten free and they also have a clean label Purity award.. This Purity award would indicate that they are minimally processed and have the good fats and not so much preservatives but even if they had preservatives it wouldn't matter because they'd be gone before the preservatives would save their flavor. Excellent choice for a snack.

  • I’ve seen Lesser Evil popcorn for a while now and decided to try it when I got a coupon for it. I’ve been buying it ever since. I like the sweet and salty one the best. I like this popcorn because it tastes cleaner/lighter than other popcorns

  • Garbage company! I hope they get everything they deserve.

  • This company is run by Nazis. Every penny their CEO makes is funneled straight into the Nazi Party. They're planning to kill all the black people, Latinos, LGBTQIA+ folks, Asian people, Muslims, Jews, the disabled, and anyone who looks at them sideways.

  • the CEOs of Lesser Evil's son is one of the 6 kids helping elon musk dismantle the government. while this kid is only 19, you can be damn sure his father, Charles Coristine, has had an influence in his decision. I will boycott until his son steps down. Matt

  • I will never purchase these products because the owner's son works for Musk and he was one of the 6 that breached our data and payment systems.

  • yum. every flavor of lesser evil popcorn I've had has been delicious and love the clean ingredients. Himalayan gold is my favorite for the perfect hint of coconut, or Himalayan sweetness for kettle corn vibes but much better for you. haven't tried their non popcorn products but have been impressed so far and repurchase all the time!

  • I love this popcorn! It’s one of the few brands I buy in store if I’m not going to be making popcorn from scratch. It has the perfect amount of Himalayan pink salt and I rarely find a hard bit of kernel in the bag. The best!

  • I love the regular coconut oil popcorn. The flavors are strange.

  • As a girl who grew up in CT tasting something so delicious from your home state makes my heart warm. Loved the salty flavor and the airy-ness of the popcorn!

  • My husband would never eat bagged popcorn…until I found this brand. Rarely is there an unpopped kernel in the bag, light and fluffy and we appreciate the oils that are used to pop the corn. Tasty, entire family loves this brand.

  • SO good. Very easy to eat the whole bag in one sitting!

  • I eat popcorn daily as a snack. This was delivered to me on accident through Instacart. Now i order this everytime. This type of salt is healthier and has positive benefits for your body. I would recommend for anyone. Great children snack over microwave popcorn anyday

  • Lesser Evil is literally killing it with their snack products! They provide healthier, organic alternatives to the common snacks within the food industry. My partner def has a palette for the more "junk food" and he now prefers Lesser Evil products. Specifically, Lesser Evil Popcorn is a must on at-home movie date night!

  • One of my favourite snack brands! Great alternative to a delicious tasting snack that has quality ingredients. Their paleo puffs are my favourite since they are gluten and grain free. Also a great snack for hosting or for a mid day pick me up.

  • OMG! My absolute favorite popcorn! Immediately fell in love after my first bag! This is no doubt, hands down, the best in my opinion!

    This is the best popcorn ever and I rarely say that! So good!

  • amazing taste with simple packaging and honestly a healthy and great snack

  • This is fresh-tasting popcorn! I especially like the Himalayan Fine Salt. The product is not greasy, tastes fresh, is not overly salted, and the kernels are nice and plump, without a lot of leftover unpopped kernels. The price is reasonable. We now buy it fairly regularly as a snack to have on hand.
