A bit of background from BuzzFeed.
study shows that the sugar industry paid scientists in the 1960s to downplay the link between sugar and heart disease — blaming saturated fat, instead

Fat bad!
Sugar fine, just don't go nuts. Bad for your teeth.
Had a hard time getting my head around the idea that some fats are not only OK, but necessary and good for you. The brain washing goes deep.
Also, all y'all are fat as fuck. It's truly freaky what we kids considered "fat" vs. what people today call "fat".
Pro tip: Exercise won't drop pounds, but do it anyway! Also, it's OK, even desirable, to be low-key hungry.
Keto taught me amazing lessons about fat. I just had to unlearn shoving cheese and bacon in my mouth all the time when I quit it.

Only 18 calories per teaspoon and it's all energy
Yeah, that's what calories are measuring...
the false implication being that calories of energy are somehow better than "calories of fat". Though since they don't say it out loud they can mislead people without technically lying.
Literal propaganda
Yeah wild times, those cigarette commercials too man, "doesn't take your breath away" with two tennisplayer girls smoking...

Just drink a Diet Coke when you eat your sugar. They cancel each other out.
"Thats wut mammma said, diets cancel out the regular sodies"
Something I saw a 500lb woman say on TV
I read this in JaboodyDubs' voice
i'll have two double quarters, large fries, two apple pies, large chocolate shake...
and a diet coke.
We cut back where we can.

I dont know how people do it, every sugar alternatives I've tried taste like ass: sucralose, aspartame, acesulfame potassium, saccharin, all of them are fucking disgusting.
I'd say sucralose is the most pernicious, I've bought things not labeled as no sugar(Asian countries LOVE using it in random shit) and as soon as that aftertaste hits I gag.
It’s best to just change your palette so it doesn’t need sugary tastes anyway. If you don’t want sugar substitutes, just change your diet so your body doesn’t expect sweet things at all. That’s a great move.

sodies...sodie pops
Joke’s on them it’s always fat time in my house.
If sugar can fill that hollow feeling, I'm all for it!
The expression on her face no less
And when I'm about to be overcome with feelings of existential dread and rage at the patriarchy, I just reach for my box of Bisquick™
Wait this was supposed to be rhetorical needling at ancient propaganda and now you are personally attacking me and my little box 🧐
Sugar fills that hollow feeling in my soul, and isn't that the important thing?
Its fat time right now, gonna eat a whole frozen pizza
ive heard they're even better cooked
Cooked with sugar for a glaze, deep fried, and then topped with sugar while cooling are my Achilles’ heels ngl

Don't forget to cover it in sugar for maximum energy.
Got milk?
Or the Dutch “Melk is goed voor elk” (“milk is good for anyone”).
Same vibe, different era.

Since nobody has mentioned it, if you eat Skittles or gummy bears after a workout it makes you feel so much better, at least in my experience. If I don't eat sugar I feel like I need food urgently.
I hope this is satire
As usual, life is more complicated than a simple "sugar is always bad". For some details, see this example : https://russhowepti.com/post-workout-haribo-gummy-bears/
TL;DR: Eating Haribos after workouts doesn't benefit your body. People who are having controlled treats and cheats during their diet plans may be less obese (correlation). The author of this article concluded there's a causality between eating Haribos after workout and being able to stay on your diet plans based on anectodal knowledge.

Huh? It's well known that it's good to have carbs after working out. The problem is when you're just eating carbs without using the energy because then it gets stored as fats.
I don't know if the particular comment you responded to is meant as a joke, but in my experience, a sugary drink after a hard workout does feel amazing. I get this post-workout thirst that no amount of water can quench, but a Gatorade will always do the trick.
I have the same but without the workout...

You look weak. I recommend you drink some 36% cream. It will give you energy and you won't need that exercise nonsense.
This but with eggs.
Now, it turns out, bacon is actually good for you in moderation. Turns out it has the same Omega 3 fat found in healthy fish and other foods, so now they're saying, a healthy diet should include bacon. And sugar, well - a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, so we do need some sugar in our diet also.
The fat time of day: youre really hungry and reacy to eat twoof everything, Here's how sugar can help. "If sugar can fill that bollow feling. 'm all for it." The fat time of day'" is when you're over-hungry and want to overcat. Thať's when your appestat" is turned up high. To turn your appestat back to low, take a little sugar in a soft drink, or a candy bar, shortly before mealtime. Sugar turns into encrgy faster than any other food. Sugar helps keep your appetite down, your encrgy up -and-helps slip you safcly past the "fat timc of day."
