Which fruit do you suppose is most jealous of its more famous cousin (no gay jokes)?
Lime - Has to deal with the lemon being far more popular. How popular is limeade? Ever seen any lime cleaning products? Even Key Lime pie isn't as popular as lemon meringue. It appears the Lime got the shaft. Even in Sprite, it had to share with the lemon.
Tangerine - A dwarf orange (PC term is 'little orange') with more seeds, the tangerine has had special challenges throughout its life. While the orange gets all the press, the tangerine's only real claim to fame it that it's easier to peel.
Plantain - Yes, I know technically, a banana is a type of plantain, but most people think they are two different things, which has to really upset the lesser-known type of plantain. The plantain thought it might have it's own niche with the fried plantain, until Elvis ruined that by popularizing the fried banana sandwich. The poor plantain doesn't even know if it's a fruit or a vegetable.

Once you get into the big leagues your bound to get depushed. Loved his finisher, Deep fried in the indies. (Too dangerous for the big times)

Lime. Here's why:
1) Ever hear the phrase "lemon lime" ? Though so. lime always comes in second to lemon, and only very rarely stands on its own.
2) It's green with envy!

Whenever anyone watches "Reservoir Dogs", they'll hear that "Lime in the Coconut" song. That's a perk. And I saw a new kind of Windex in the supermarket with the power of limes (and it's green, too).

Why doesn't the plantain get a windex? Cause it'd draw too much money and lemon married the boss's daughter

I never heard about plantain before, so I looked it up on google. Turns out I've eaten tons of it before, thinking they were bananas.

I don't even know who this "plantain" is. So I'll give it a vote out of sympathy.

It's good to see the lime isn't being held down by 'the man' anymore.

I will say the lime seems to be getting its comeuppance, what with Pepsi Lime, Coke with Lime, Tostitos chips with a "Hint of Lime" all being very high on my personal list of "yummiest stuff to consume" in the past few years. Slowly but surely, it's making a comeback. (And yes, I do see Limeade out there now and again).

If you're latino, you have eaten plantains before. They're almost in every dish in every spanish restaurant I've been to.
