Sprinkling sugar around tomato plants?

Someone said that tomatoes can be made sweeter by sprinkling a little
sugar around the plants. Would this really work? Would the plants absorb
the sugar and store it in the tomatoes? I'm somewhat dubious.
Not a chance. It might possibly get metabolised in the roots or in
excess it could prevent the roots taking up water from the soil.
I would think mostly it would just encourage ants.
