No eating food in the halls!—Principal of the Thing, prior to Classic V1.3
The Energy Flavored Zesty Bar is an inventory item that is found in random places in the Baldi's Basics series.
Description
The Energy Flavored Zesty Bar is a chocolate bar with a purple, white, and green wrapper that is peeled halfway off. ½ of the wrapper is green, ⅜ is white, and ⅛ is purple.
Usage
Main gameplay

The Staminometer after using this item.
Right-clicking or pressing the "Use item" key (Q by default) with the Energy Flavored Zesty Bar selected gives the player a stamina boost, allowing the player to run twice as longer than usual. The Staminometer's needle will not be shown right after using it, but as the player's stamina slowly depletes, the needle will slowly become visible again, signifying when the Zesty Bar's effect will wear off.
It is best to use this item when the player has many notebooks as Baldi is a lot faster, which means they must have as much stamina as they can so they can run from Baldi easily.
Challenges
- In the Stealthy Challenge, the Energy Flavored Zesty Bar is one of the two types of items found, along with the Dirty Chalk Eraser. The player can use the Zesty Bar to quickly get away and hide from the Principal of the Thing clones.
- This item is also available in the Speedy Challenge as well, found in both faculty rooms and Zesty machines.
- This item is absent in the Grapple Challenge as the player cannot move in any means besides a Grappling Hook.

Other appearances

- In Baldi's Basics Birthday Bash, the Zesty Bar can randomly be found in presents or crazy vending machines.
- In Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered, the Zesty Bar spawns on the same locations in Classic and Birthday Bash. It can be randomly found in the cafeteria and faculty rooms in Demo Style.
- In Baldi's Basics - Field Trip demo: Camping, the item is obtained when successfully completing the demo with 25,000 or more points, along with the BSODA and Baldi's Least Favorite Tape. However, the player cannot use these items as the demo skips to the Kickstarter promotion screen.
- In Baldi's Basics Full Game Early Demo, one Energy Flavored Zesty Bar is found in the playground. It can also be purchased from Zesty machines, one located outside of the Principal's office and in the hallway with the BSODA machine and the roto-hall, and the other down the hallway that is next to the Principal's office and the classroom with the WD-NoSquee.
Trivia
General
- The word "zesty" is actually a word used for describing a portion of food to have a strong, pleasant, and citrus-like flavor.
- In addition, it is confirmed in the credits that the "zesty" name was requested by Joshua Valent during the production of Baldi's Basics Classic.[1]
- The bar, as confirmed by mystman12, is a Kirkland Signature protein bar. The reason the wrapper appears green is that he took a picture of it in front of a green screen and the foil reflected it.[2]
- The reason why the player can still run after eating an Energy Flavored Zesty Bar without losing stamina is not because it halts stamina depletion, rather, it sets the stamina to 200%, whereas normally the max stamina would be 100%, meaning the player has double stamina. Notebooks and water fountains also only fill the stamina up to 100%, so they will not refill any stamina if the player has eaten an Energy Flavored Zesty Bar.
- In Baldi's Basics Classic and Birthday Bash, it can be difficult to figure out how much stamina is left after using this item since the stamina bar always displays as full (100%), until they have less than 100%.
Baldi's Basics Plus
- One of the sounds when Baldi eats An Apple for Baldi shares the same sound when the player uses this item.
- Prior to V0.4, Energy Flavored Zesty Bars made no sound when consumed.
Baldi's Basics Classic/Birthday Bash
- The word "Flavored" for the item's name lacked its capitalization. This has been changed since Full Game Early Demo.
Baldi's Basics Classic
- Prior to V1.1, there was no Energy Flavored Zesty Bar in the cafeteria on the table in the corner, meaning only one Energy Flavored Zesty Bar could be found.
- Prior to V1.3, eating an Energy Flavored Zesty Bar would make the player guilty for 1 second, in which Principal of the Thing could send them to detention after saying, "No eating food in the halls!".
Glitches
Baldi's Basics Plus
- Prior to V0.1.5, if the Energy Flavored Zesty Bar was eaten while inside a blue locker, the stamina would not regenerate until the player exited the locker.
