That's two lemons. You'll ruin your recipe

    I hate when they give that measurement just because I keep bottled lemon juice on hand. IDK how many lemons are in there, but I'm pretty sure it's more than 1.

    If it's the same lemon-shaped bottle of lemon juice I'm thinking of, it should say how many tablespoons of juice equals a medium lemon (Something like 3TBS maybe? Too lazy to look in my fridge right now)

    Agreed. But this is where (and I'm gonna get shit on for suggesting it) Google's AI answers are super handy. "Average lemon juice yield" and you'll have a reasonable answer.

    AI answers are never useful. Ask it something you actually know the answer to and you'd quickly learn how garbage it is at giving the correct info.

    Just use it to taste. Unless you’re making sodium citrate for cheese sauce (where the correct ratio of bicarb and citric acid is important) you don’t need to worry. Most recipes with lemon juice add it at the end anyway, to preserve the fresh lemon flavour (which gets destroyed by cooking).

    I saw some baby lemons in the store, ignoring the fsct they were the same price as they lay next to the standard ones, I had to buy the baby lemons.

    But that is a giant lemon, wow

    I've had a lemon tree grown from seed a few years now, it's finally getting branches this summer. Im excited for next year, hopefully I'll get some buds soon!

    Little known fact, all lemons contain exactly the same amount of limonene, it's just more concentrated in the small one.
