Lemons float in water, but limes sink.

Infact verdict: True (91/100).

The claims that lemons float and limes sink in water are supported by multiple sources. Lemons float because they are less dense than water, while limes sink due to being slightly denser. This is confirmed by reliable sources such as Mashed and Steve Spangler's experiments. Therefore, both claims are factual.
