Wouldn't bother me to keep them...

They were left out maybe ten or eleven hours. I stuck them in the fridge to await a verdict.

Who is this BUBBIE???

I would still eat them, unless it was really hot where they were, which I don't think it would be at night. I would be ok with 70°, maybe 80°, but not a sunny car...except in places where it's sunny at night...there it's probably also cold enough to keep them refrigerated.

I would eat them faster than usual though. How are the Bubbie's? I tried a jar of Ba-Tempte half sour pickles, and some of them were soft, which grossed me out and made me wonder whether the jar was safe. I have since found an occasional soft half-sour at pickle bars, so maybe it's just something that happens. I like making my own half-sours but they're not as good as the ones you get in NY.

I was curious, too, Ken ...
so I did a search

No current recipe there, but I am almost sure it is a salt brine fermented pickle. Judging by the age, also probably mostly canned in refrigerated jars. My half sours are as much as I want to have for flavor, salt, and speed of making.
