    Okay, it's so stupid but here goes. Is a lemon and lime the same? I say no. I believe they are 2 different fruit. Anyone know for sure or have any comments?

    Taste 'em, they definitely have a different taste to 'em. They grow on different trees IE; lemon tree, lime tree. Yep they are different, not the same IMHO.

    Great question minu.

    One that has always interested me too.

    I used to think limes were just unripened lemons.

    There are some popular lemon-lime sodas: 7-up, Sprite, Sierra Mist.

    They're made from a specially-developed hybrid fruit called a lemon-lime. See, that proves they're just one and the same !!!

    Throw in an orange and a grapefruit. They are also citrus, but they are not the same.

    We have lemons and limes all over here in Florida. The lime taste green and the lemon taste yellow. Its pretty simple.
