Yeah, I know a bunch of people who grow zucchini and they frequently harvest more than they could possibly use. they literally can't give it away sometimes. maybe that's why people who don't like zucchini don't like gardeners? Because they don't want the produce zucchini growers are constantly trying to offload? Bit of a thinker.

Zucchini are on the same level as bugs for me, I'll eat them if I'm starving to death. Back when I lived in a place where crops can actually grow, I used to forcefully reject their gifting all the time. Almost nothing grows where I am now. Avid backyard farmers give up on it after moving here.

Our Zucchinis became so big at one point you could make more than one whole meal for four people with a single zucchini
