Lime = limón or lima?

I learned in Rosetta Stone this:
lime = lima
lemon = limón
However, I looked at a package of" Lime Jell-o" last night and it said
"Lime (limón)"
On the same note, I ordered a Corona (beer) here in a Mexican restaurant (in Spanish) and asked for it with a "lima" (thinking lime) but was told by the Spanish speaking waiter that it was said "limón".
Huh? How can they be interchangeable? They are very different.

En México la palabra "lime" no existe esta es una palabra utilizada por los Estado Unidenses. - shunttymex, Oct 18, 2013
Y que desgraciadamente en los bares mexicanos le llaman "lime" para que los anglosaxones comprendan !!!!! - shunttymex, Oct 18, 2013
