Absolutely false. Modern lemons are most closely related to the citron, which is one the three parent fruits of all citrus cultivars that exist on the planet today. What most westerners call a "lime" is actually a hybrid of a kumquat and a mandarin, and probably the most genetically deviated citrus fruit from the citron.
Big Fruit is sending their agents to attack innocent patriots like me who are finally getting to see through their lies. 😡😡 Next youll tell me a pear is different from an apple. 🙄
(Thats actually super interesting, and I had no idea, thanks for telling me!)
Yep, everything came from hybridization of citrons, most closely related to modern lemons, pomelos, the principal ancestor of grapefruit, and mandarins. Every citrus fruit you eat today is a "GMO"; modern oranges are a cross of mandarins, which were originally sour, and pomelos.
workshopping a new conspiracy theory: lemons and limes taste exactly the same

Limes are just unripe lemons
No. NO!
What's the motivation, tho? Big lime?
Simple: inventing lemons means more products to sell on the market. same reason theres 90 different types of root beer. 😖
Counter point: no pink lemons
Root beer is one of the last cool drinks. I love going to the store and trying out new root beers.
