Siamese Strawberry

Last time I checked, America's farmlands hadn't suffered an apocalyptic blast of radiation.  So how to explain, then, this mutant fruit (photographed from both sides) that showed up in a container of strawberries I recently purchased?  The juicy monstrosity (compare the "normal" specimen beside it) looks like several full-sized strawberries melded into one--the produce equivalent of Chang and Eng.  Definitely the fleshiest (and oddest) piece of fresh fruit I've ever encountered.

Please note: Disagreement is inevitable; disparagement is intolerable. You can differ from someone else's opinion without having to resort to an attack on that person (any improper/insulting commentary will be deleted from this blog). So please remember to show some civility to your M.R. brethren. Thanks--Joe.
