Anyone have experience with them? They are yellow and shaped like football.
It is only one vine. Sure it is not from too much sun or over ripeness. Other cucumbers vines are green and good.
What can I do with them?

If it is what I know as a Chinese cuke, use it as a shower scrub.

If it is green and shaped like a really long cucumber then:

"Though the fruits may be eaten, the uses of Chinese cucumber are mainly medicinal. It has been popular in Chinese herbal preparations for centuries to treat many different conditions and diseases. The fruit, including the seeds, is said to be anti-fungal and anti-bacterial, and is taken as a laxative and expectorant as well. The fruit rind has been used to treat jaundice, sore throat, and even cancer."

Delighted Cooking

The bold I added, urge caution!
