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'm not a big popcorn fan to begin so I'm not sure why I was adamant about trying this. It's not bad necessarily but it just didn't quite do it for me as other brands do.

    I think one of the bigger things for me was how fast the bag went stale. I seal everything up with a clip after folding it down multiple times so I'm not sure if it's the way that I had done that or what, but I felt it was totally stale within two days of opening it.

  • Love the strong coconut flavor + Himalayan salt. Taste LUXE 💅

    i wish the snack sized packs were more widely available because i can and i will eat an entire bag in one sitting oops

  • Lesser Evil Space Balls! These are seriously addictive! The puffed quinoa snacks have the perfect balance of crunch and lightness, and the flavor is out of this world—especially with options like Himalayan Pink Salt or the cheddar ones. They’re made with clean ingredients, which makes them a great option for a guilt-free snack. I love that they’re gluten-free, non-GMO, and packed with protein, making them a healthier alternative to typical snacks. Plus, the texture is so fun to munch on! If you’re looking for a crunchy, flavorful, and healthier snack, Lesser Evil Space Balls are definitely a winner!

  • Pretty good for the calories but still has some preservatives in them. The puffs are reminiscent of pirates booty which I love.

  • One of my favorite popcorn brands! I'm a big fan of the clean ingredients, no seed oils and tasty flavors. I think I've tried almost all of their products :)

  • Loved these, so much so that I handed out the small bags for Halloween and kids were excited to receive them. I can't wait to try more flavors.

  • These are dangerous. I have unintentionally eaten whole bags of the Power Curls in one sitting on countless occasions. I think some of my friends secretly hate me for introducing them to the Power Curls because they also now unintentionally eat whole bags. 1000/10

  • The popcorn was decent; the cheese balls, awesome.

  • soo yummy and one of the best store popcorn brands out there I like the pink salt one

  • Himalayan sea salt popcorn that almost got me to enlightenment

  • This is, by far, my favorite pre-popped popcorn. The quality ingredients and variety of plant-based flavors means there are always numerous bags in our kitchen at all times. From traditional Himalayan Pink Salt to Fiery Hot, there is a flavor for every craving/mood. The seasonal flavors, such as the December Match White Chocolate, keep us eyeing the shelves for what comes next. A new favorite, highly recommend the Homer's popcorn for a better-for-you twist on a classic garlic parmesan treat.

  • Ok can someone tell me why Whole Foods goes in and out of having the cheddar lil puffs in store? I am OBSESSED with them. I know they are for kids but heck, I'm 30 and they're my favorite snack ever. Highly recommend them to anyone and want to bring them to parties, but then I get to Whole Foods and they just sometimes... don't carry it? Like not out-of-stock but genuinely disappears from the shelf altogether. No sign, nothing. Might order straight from the website going forward because they are DELICIOUS!

  • Really enjoy this popcorn and have even bought the snack packs for my toddler. It’s tasty and has healthy ingredients.

  • Convenient. ate this a lot when I didn’t have a full kitchen. Pretty good.

  • Their Himalayan Pink Salt Popcorn alone makes Lesser Evil a 5000000000 gazillion out of 5. I've put multiple of my friends + friends' parents onto this popcorn, I sneak full-size bags into the movies, and when I had my wisdom teeth removed I (allegedly) cried the whole way home because I was taking a very unwilling popcorn hiatus... anyway

  • This is absolutely amazing! The taste, the branding, and even the ingredients are all incredible. I mean, what's not to love? I'm completely obsessed with everything about this. Personally, my favorite flavor is the Watermelon Hibiscus. It's just pure perfection!

  • The no cheese cheesiness puffs are amazing. They are a bit thicker than cheetos puffs and the flavor is very present. I also like the popcorn version of this flavor too. Be prepared to eat the whole bag.
