This would let people enjoy the flavor of lemons and limes without having to scrunch up their faces so much (although I know that's half the fun for spectators).
On a practical level, you could make delicious lemonade and limeade without using so much sugar. All the taste without the extra calories/cavities.
The lowdown on limes and lemons.

There is substantial variation in the Aurantioideae family (limes), but many of them are not considered viable foodstocks. |

"Key lime every mountain..." |

I really dislike that song - it is so mountainous and wet! and ugh! |

¯blissmiss: Thanks for cracking the Splenda™ egg -- lets me think there may be room for a genetic modification that makes sense. |
