So, I've been perusing my local produce section the past couple weeks to see if they add more squash to the pile. I've noticed by now,  that there have been 3 different fruits that appear to be twins as in two conjoined fruit that share the same stem. One was a delicata, & the other two were acorn types called sweet dumpling.  This seems like it would be an uncommon occurrence,  but with these numbers it's like 1 in 12ish.  Is this a fairly frequent thing with squash?  If one were to save seeds, are double fruit likely to replicate that trait?  I wouldn't think so, but then again,  I'm just getting into winter squash.
