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.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
Wholesome snacks without compromising taste. The Himalayan Pink Salt popcorn is airy, buttery (without dairy), and perfectly salted. Awesome for movie nights OR if you are popcorn fanatic like me...great anytime!!! Guilt-free snacking at its best! Ohhh, just found this Watermelon Hibiscus at our local Sprouts!!!

Obsessed with Lesser Evil popcorn. Have tried the Himalayan pink, sweet, gold and love them all! I have a bag of the cheddar next.

I like popcorn. I like popcorn at the movie theater (with butter) - Knowing that info, you may consider me a popcorn connoisseur or a popcorn heathen. Let's go with love popcorn. I was flying home from London last Spring and had upgraded to Business Class. Midway through the flight, I was offered a wicker basket filled with all kinds of snacks: chips, cookies, candy, and Lesser Evil Popcorn. The packaging said Coconut Oil was used, which intrigued me, so I took a bag of Lesser Evil to sample. Opening the bag released a sensational odor of popcorn with a hint of coconut. The smell was good, and the taste was even better! I was an instant fan. I spent the next several minutes reading everything written on the Lesser Evil packaging and jumped online to learn more. I immediately wanted to know where I could get it, how much it cost, etc. The more I learned, the more I wanted another bag of Lesser Evil popcorn at 39,000 feet. I spied the 'snack basket' on the galley counter - protected from passengers by two flight attendants. I got up from my seat to go to the restroom, which required me to pass the galley, the flight attendants, and the popcorn. As I approached, I heard myself speaking...."Have you ever tried the Lesser Evil popcorn?" I asked the flight attendants. Both said no, and I told them they were missing out and asked if I could possibly get an additional bag or two. Over the next 4 hours, I scored another four snack-size Lesser Evil popcorn. I found it at Whole Foods and now pick it up in moderation. It is very good

One of the few brands I've discovered in an airport and purchased a second, third, fourth time. Clean ingredients and better than any bagged popcorn I've had before. Will be trying their other products.

This is a smart snack in terms of being healthy. It is air popped and using organic ingredients. They even have a dairy-free cheese flavor. However I just don't find this popcorn to be satisfying enough.


My toddler absolutely loves the lesser evil baby puff snacks. The star-berry beet flavor are his favorite. I like that they are healthier than some of the similar options and that they don’t have any added sugar or seed oils.

I am all for an organic snack. Low cal, low carb, high fiber and high quality ingredients. My flavor of choice is the "No Cheese" Cheesiness. I don't find the coconut oil flavor too strong like some other popcorn brands that use coconut oil. I will absolutely be snacking on Lesser Evil in the future!

This is my favorite popcorn/snack brand yet! I love the Himalayan Sweetness Popcorn and Hyperspace Hot Onion Moonions. All products are clean ingredients and wholesome. As someone with a sensitive stomach I always look to avoid seed oils and harsh ingredients and this encompasses both of those values!

I think that the Lesser Evil products are absolutely delicious. I have tried many of their products, including the popcorn and the puffs, and all of those items are very, very tasty. I would probably say that my favorites would probably be the Pink Himalayan Salt popcorn and the Himalayan Gold popcorn. Both of those flavors are really spot on, and I really enjoy that they are a bit healthier of a popcorn for me with less preservatives than traditional bagged popcorn. I’ve even turned my coworkers on to their snacks, really great products.

I really like this Himalayan popcorn. I normally purchase the Himalayan pink salt with organic extra virgin coconut oil. But today I was in Target and saw the Himalayan gold with butter, flavored, coconut oil and Himalayan salt. I have tried many brands of popcorn that have butter flavor in there description. I am always disappointed because it's some kind of powdery substance that sits on the popcorn and just gets all over your fingers and really doesn't have that much flavor. Kind of reminds me of Doritos. But Lesser Evil brand Himalayan Gold is so flavorful without that powdery stuff that gets all over your hands and tastes very fake. This is wonderful!

These snacks are yummy (the Himalayan Gold is verryyyyy addicting and the puffed cheese snacks are ones I have to fight my niece and nephew for) but the heir to the Lesser Evil fortune is a DOGE kid, and as a DC resident, I won't be purchasing anymore (unless its on sale at Costco). Too bad!
I love their Himalayan Pink Salk popcorn. I usually get it from thrive market and they come in snack pack sizes for portion control!
A nice, healthy vegan snack that has a nice pink salt taste without being overly salty. I usually order this product through Thrive.

A nice snack flavored with pink salt.
Lesser Evil Popcorn is a tasty, guilt-free snack! It’s light, crispy, and packed with flavor without being too greasy. The clean ingredients and variety of flavors are a big win. The only downside is that some flavors could use a little more seasoning, but overall, it's a great snack!
W popcorn. This is literally the only brand of popcorn I consume. Literally, my boyfriend and I sneak the big bag into the movie theater. Just tastes so good, so addictive. Their best flavor is the Himalayan Sweetness one, it's always sold out at our local retailers when we go try to find it. We've also recently tried their Lil Puffs. As a fellow baby food enjoyer, it's top tier. Use it as mix ins or just a straight up snack. Lesser evil can do no evil.
Love this brand! The popcorn is immaculate. Best popcorn I’ve had. I thought the puffs were just ok.

100% five stars for the white chocolate and matcha popcorn. Its too good, I dont even care about the price.
The popcorn tastes fine, nothing remarkable in my opinion, but I feel like as a consumer, you're paying more for the brand and less for the actual product. There are many organic snack brands that don't charge as much.
