And Meyer lemons are sweeter than Eureka lemons and Lisbon lemons.

According to: http://www.wholehealthmd.com/refshelf/foods_view/1,1523,55,00.html

There are two basic types of lemons--acid and sweet.

The acidic types are the most commercially available. The sweet types, such as Meyer lemons, are grown primarily by home gardeners as ornamental fruit, although they are becoming increasingly available in the early spring at some specialty markets. The bulk of acid-type lemons are either Eurekas or Lisbons. They differ somewhat in size, shape, and thickness of peel, but are otherwise basically alike.
