I was just eating lemon and lime skittles, and this random thought came to me: If either lemons or limes totally vanish from earth, which one would you want to stay?

Is that some kind of threat?

I guess we could just eat Skittles then.

When you made this poll, were you thinking to yourself "They're gonna love this thread. I always have such good ideas for threads.", Because, you were wrong.

Lime is great with drinks. -> Capirinha
Lemon is good with food. -> fried pork chops just with lemon juice and salad

I personally think it's an interesting question.

A touch of lime juice is excellent on fajitas.

Lemons are nice, but they're similar to oranges and tangerines and whatnot. I'd rather have limes around for like... beer and tequila.

Lemon. Anything lime can do can be done at least half as well with a lemon.

I'd rather have lemons. I enjoy Churchill martinis with a twist (I have my gin & tonics sans garnish, too). Also, I love cooking with lemon juice and whatnot.

I can't think of a single time Lemon has ever improved the flavour of anything and on it's own it's useless to so i vote for lime.

I'm english so I don't think that this will come as a surprise:
Lime
Most of the people I know (which isn't many) prefer lime too... must be written into our DNA or something.

Lime all the way and it's fancier. Lemon juice can be reproduced chemically.

Incidentally did you know that the difference in taste in lemons and oranges is due simply to a difference in shape in the same molecule ?

Lemon since it's cool and I actually like it.

Lemons stay.

Limes disappear = people start drinking Corona w/out lime = people realize how crappy Corona really is = Corona disappears off the face of the Earth. <-That right there should be reason enough.

While I appreciate the people realizing how crappy Corona is sentiment, I'd have to keep limes, for the fact that they make both the chips and rice at Chipotle possible, and if you get into real Mexican food (so, far removed from Chipotle,) fresh squeezed lime juice goes so amazing with all the fresh cilantro and onions.

Lemons spend most of their time tasting like cleaning solution.

You lose at taste.

They're both kind of equal to me. Usually both are the worst when it comes to candy flavors.

Definitely lemon. Lemon juice has a better burn when squeezed on chaffed nipples.

I don't believe so, i simply don't see how adding bitterness to anything ever helps.
