I think when I used to go, a banana was free, but if you mashed that same banana (just mashing it - not adding any sugar or anything), it became like 1 syn or something.

So did you have to swallow the banana whole, and not chew it with your teeth, if you didn't want to count it as a syn, then?

Probably because when you purée or blend fruit, you remove the fibre from it and then it becomes very sugary instead. It's why you can eat whole fruit and not have dental decay but if you turn it into a smoothie you're risking decay.
