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.

  • Coconut from the oil makes it extra rich and almost a little sweet and certainly a little nutty. Yum

  • This is really good popcorn but I'm giving it 4/5 because it's a bit pricey in my opinion.

  • So many good things to share about this brand! The ingredients in all their products are clean and simple. I love when companies are mindful of what ingredients go into their products, it feels like they really care about the health and wellbeing of the consumer. I buy the lil' puffs for my toddler, he loves all the flavors! My older child really enjoys the popcorn - especially the seasonal flavors! It's so fun to try new flavors throughout the year. Some of the flavors haven't been a favorite in our house, but I appreciate the innovative and creative products the company puts out. I've never been disappointed with the products we've tried! Worth the money!

  • Addicting, delicious, organic popcorn with simple ingredients. Love the subtle coconut oil flavor. I would highly recommend the Himalayan Sea Salt popcorn if you’re looking for a quick, healthy snack.

  • Currently one of my favorite snacks! I am obsessed with this popcorn and am slowly trying all of their other snacks, which are good but not as good as their popcorn. I will admit the cute packaging convinced me to buy it at Whole Foods but I keep coming back. Even as an adult, I love their snack-sized packages which are great for lunch because I could eat an entire giant bag of this popcorn in one sitting. Their seasonal flavors are interesting with my favorite so far being their Valentines Day white chocolate flavor.

  • I LOVE this popcorn! I think all the flavors are vegan now which is even better for me. I can eat the whole bag in a sitting. It has the perfect amount of salt/flavoring.

  • Such a great product. My family loves this popcorn!

  • Their fake cheese popcorn is bomb. Even the sweet popcorn is a good mix. Popcorn that is so addicting, you can’t stop!

    Make the biggest bag you can.

  • The Himalayan pink salt and fiery hot paleo puffs are so good. Such a yummy, low guilt snack.

  • Great healthy snack options with fun flavors! Always fun to try something new

  • I discovered this brand when I was having health issues and had to really watch what I was eating, and be careful with ingredients. Their ingredients are organic and simple but the product is still delicious. Himalayan Gold is my absolute favorite! I also like that they are available in stores or online, and they're not crazy expensive.

  • I love Lesser Evil! I’ve tried a number of their products, and while I wouldn’t re-buy all of them (the popcorn is nothing special imho), I love the mission toward clean, healthy snacks. The no-cheese power curls are my favorite.

    Continue to expand the product range :)

  • a not-so-bad addiction... this is so much better than smartpop/any other varieties. firstly because it's organic but secondly because it just tastes better. the himalayan gold is AMAZING (so buttery tasting)... as are all the other flavors. you really don't feel guilty eating half a bag (though maybe a bit bloated, haha)

  • Low calorie, high quality. This popcorn is guilt free and tasty!

  • So many flavors!! Love this!!!

  • I don't know how, but every Lesser Evil product I've ever tried has spawned a new addition. Currently can't get enough of the no cheese cheesiness popcorn — it's so good. Love the sun poppers and puffs as well!

  • Addictive popcorn and organic, couldn’t ask for a better product. Definitely a no guilt snack.

  • I haven't tried a flavor I didn't enjoy. I really love their types of popcorn and their cheese balls are also great! A bit salty after too many but that's okay!
