This remarkable fact is well spread around the internet; The acid within the lemon would mask the sweetness of the sugar, so is the explanation.

To determine if this is true we first need to agree on how to compare the two, since one lemon is of course much bigger and heavier than one strawberry.
To make a fair comparison we should look at the amount of sugar per a certain amount of substance; lets take the standard of 100 grams.
Then we will see that a lemon contains 2.50g sugar per 100g, and a strawberry contains 5g sugar per 100g. Twice the amount of that of a lemon!
So we can safely conclude this fact is not true; A strawberry contains in fact twice as much sugar as a lemon.
