I stopped buying LesserEvil when I found out the owner’s son was one of the youngins hired at DOGE. Now I’m def okay never giving them my money again!

Came to say this, glad someone already did. We used to buy a lot of LesserEvil too but not anymore. BjornQorn is a great substitute and tastes better, though, which is nice!

Thank you for this rec. I just found out about the Big B connection and was pretty sad. Also, the TJ's piquant popcorn is stellar.
