BSODA

:This article refers to the regular version. For its diet variant, see Diet BSODA.
BSODA is an inventory item in the Baldi's Basics series.
== Description ==
BSODA is a navy blue soda can with a gray top and bottom. There is white text showing the slogan: "Restart_Refresh_BSODA". However, the slogan on the small icon is just "BSODA" written diagonally.
== Usage ==
BSODA can push almost all characters in the Schoolhouse or Super Schoolhouse, making it useful to temporarily stall Baldi and most other characters. When used, it spits out a blue spray that is the same color as the can. If the player presses the "Look back" key or button (Space bar by default) to look backwards before using BSODA, they can spray behind them. BSODA can also be used to open standard doors or swinging doors, but there should be a character being pushed by it. While NPCs are pushed by the BSODA spray, they are unable to move. This includes Baldi, despite the fact he continues to slap with his ruler.
The BSODA spray can go through walls, which means it will last until the character being pushed by it runs into a wall or until 30 seconds, the BSODA's lifespan, pass. If It's a Bully is in the BSODA's path, any character can be stopped by him.
== Tips & Tricks ==
=== Advantages ===
* The BSODA can be used on characters if absolutely necessary, such as:
** Baldi, when he is about to fully catch the player. Pushing him to a very long hallway saves more time.
** 1st Prize, when he is about to push the player while Baldi is right behind them.
** Playtime, when playing a jump rope minigame, pushing her will interrupt the minigame when she is far away from the player.
** Beans, when he spits bubble gum at the player. They can push his gum away with the BSODA.
** Cloudy Copter, when it blows wind in the halls, pushing it will cause it to stop blowing in the halls.
=== Neutral ===
* If Principal of the Thing sees the player using BSODA, he will scold them for breaking one of the school rules and try to send them to detention. However, if the Principal shows up few seconds after the BSODA is used, despite the BSODA spray displaying in front of him, he will not put the player in detention. The Principal will also not scold the player for using BSODA if:
** They are wearing the Faculty Nametag.
** They are in the playground or his office.
=== Disadvantages ===
* Chalkles and It's a Bully cannot be pushed by BSODA.
* The player can also be pushed by BSODA spray. This may make them vulnerable to other NPCs.
* If the player uses a BSODA, then uses a Grappling Hook, the Grappling Hook will not target the object properly.
== Locations ==
=== Main gameplay ===
BSODA can be found and obtained in various ways:
* Randomly located in faculty rooms.
* Using a Quarter on a BSODA vending machine.
* Completing a field trip with enough stars to get one.
* Randomly chosen and placed in the Principal's office during the party event.
* Purchasing it for 500 You Thought Points at Johnny's Store.
=== Endless Mode - Medium ===
BSODA can be found in a faculty room with a Quarter, close to the room's door.
=== Challenges ===
* In the Speedy Challenge, there is only one BSODA machine, so it is only possible to get 1 BSODA from it. There is one other BSODA that can be found in one of the faculty rooms..
* In the Grapple Challenge, two BSODAs are found in two faculty rooms, and one can be purchased from a BSODA machine using a Quarter.
* In the Stealthy Challenge, there are no BSODAs nor BSODA machines.
== Other appearances ==
* In Baldi's Basics Classic, a free BSODA can be found from one of the tables inside the cafeteria. There are also two BSODA machines: one in the cafeteria and one in a hallway.
* In Baldi's Basics Birthday Bash, BSODA can be found either in presents or being purchased from the Crazy Item machine. Its spray has the same properties as in Classic.
* In Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered, the mechanism is same as Baldi's Basics Plus before V0.4. The locations are also the same as in Baldi's Basics Classic in Classic Style. It can randomly be found in faculty rooms in Demo Style. Also, if playing this game on Steam, the player will earn the "BSODA Pro" achievement when four or more characters are pushed by the spray.
* In Baldi's Basics - Field Trip demo: Camping, a BSODA is obtained when the player successfully completes the demo with 25,000 or more points, along with Baldi's Least Favorite Tape and the Energy Flavored Zesty Bar. However, the player does not have the permission to use these items as the demo skips to the Kickstarter promotion ending screen.
* In Baldi's Basics Full Game Early Demo, BSODAs can only be obtained from a BSODA machine and randomly from the party event. There are no free BSODAs in this demo.
* In Baldi's Basics Kickstarter Exclusive Demo, BSODA is found in the same way as in Baldi's Basics Plus before V0.2. Since Baldi's Basics Plus V0.2, the BSODA can also be found and bought in Johnny's Store.
== Trivia ==
=== General ===
*BSODA is one of the few items whose main item texture is not dithered.
**It is currently unknown if this was a developer oversight or if it was intentional.
* BSODA is a reference to the Blue Screen of Death, a screen displayed when a critical error occurs on a Windows OS.
** The slogan on the can further reflects this.
** BSODA is a play on the acronym for the Blue Screen of Death: BSoD, combined with the word soda, making BSODA.
** A BSODA being next to a Blue Screen of Death on the table in the fake error screen from Classic Remastered even further reflects this.
* While the game itself has a ton of inspirations from Sonic's Schoolhouse, the idea of the BSODA's existence, based on the Blue Screen of Death, is taken from the Sonic's Schoolhouse's rare error that sometimes causes its operating system to cause a Blue Screen of Death when attempting to exit the game.
* The player sprays the BSODA instead of drinking it, despite Principal of the Thing's quote "No drinking drinks in the halls!".
* According to mystman12, BSODA tastes of blue, fizz, and aluminum.Q: "What does bsoda taste like?" / A: "It tastes of blue, fizz, and aluminum." - Gmail (question), Gmail (response)
=== Baldi's Basics Plus ===
* BSODA is one of the three items to have a unique alternate sprite for inventory slots instead of simply a resized sprite, the other two being the Alarm Clock and the Portal Poster.
* BSODA's main mechanic is very similar to Gotta Sweep and 1st Prize, as they all involve pushing characters. However, BSODA can push not only characters, but also objects.
* The sprite of BSODA's spray seems way bigger than one in Classic/Birthday Bash and also seems to move faster.
* Prior to V0.1.3, the BSODA guilt time was 3 seconds instead of 0.8 seconds.
* Prior to V0.4, there were some differences:
** The BSODA's spray used the same sprite that has been used since Baldi's Basics Classic.
** When sprayed, it did not spawn with a random angle rotation.
** The player could not be pushed by BSODA.
** The BSODA's spray passed through It's a Bully, rather than bouncing off of him. However, this was reverted in V0.5.1.
** The BSODA's spray could not push some objects (such as the Alarm Clock or Grappling Hook) away.
=== Baldi's Basics Classic/Birthday Bash ===
* In the class name of the BSODA's spray (), "Spray" is misspelled as "Spary".
* BSODA can open swinging doors even if there is no character being pushed.
=== Baldi's Basics Classic ===
* In V1.0, spraying a BSODA would make the player guilty of it for 3 seconds. It was changed to 1 second in V1.1.
* Prior to V1.3, the BSODA's spray sound was not implemented.
== Glitches ==
=== Baldi's Basics Plus ===
* Rarely, BSODA spray passes through NPCs, instead of pushing them.
* Prior to V0.3.8, BSODA's spray would partially clip through the ground after the player gets detention.
* Prior to V0.4.1, when using a BSODA on a character while they were moved by something else like Cloudy Copter's wind or the conveyor belt, they could sometimes clip through the BSODA spray.
=== Baldi's Basics Classic ===
* Prior to V1.2.2, the BSODA was frame-based and did not do anything to the characters on higher-end computers, because of the FPS being too high. Limiting the FPS fixes this issue in these versions.
=== Demos ===
* In Full Game Early Demo and Kickstarter Exclusive Demo, if the player uses a BSODA on Baldi while he is eating An Apple for Baldi, Baldi will hover around the player until he stops eating, which immediately leads to either losing a power tube or leading to a game over if the player does not beat the floor in time or does not have another Apple.
