Biggest Lemon I’ve Ever Seen!
Today we were given some lemons and tangerines. The lemon is the biggest I’ve ever seen. It’s the size of a grapefruit! It’s supposed to be a “Meyer” Lemon. I looked it up on web and it is a dwarf tree usually grown indoors in a pot but there was no mention about fruit size. In all the photo’s it looks like a normal lemon size. This one is a giant. Anyone know if it’s something different?

Looks like a pummelo to me. (relative of the grapefruit)
All I can say is....WOW!
Or is that a teeny-tiny can of soda? :)
Thanks Evano! Looks like you got it.
I looked it up on Wikipedia and here's what they said:
The pomelo (Citrus maxima or Citrus grandis) is a crisp citrus fruit native to Southeast Asia. It is usually pale green to yellow when ripe, with sweet white (or, more rarely, pink or red) flesh and very thick albedo (rind pith). It is the largest citrus fruit, 15–25 cm in diameter,[1] and usually weighing 1–2 kg. Other spellings for pomelo include pummelo, and pommelo, and other names include Chinese grapefruit, jabong, lusho fruit, pompelmous[2] from Tamil pampa limāsu,(பம்பளி மாசு)[3] = pompous lemon] and shaddock.[4]
The Edsel.
