you dont use sugar.

use a bowl of eggs

Sugar?? The onions are full of sugar...

non-joke answer: onions are naturally sweet, no sugar is needed
joke answer: I prefer to add caramel

I just cook them down in a naked pan on low heat. At the end, right before they're about to stick I'll add a heavy pinch of salt and some butter or oil.

you don't need to add sugar when caramelizing onions.

>>what's the difference
white sugar is highly refined. It's pure sugar. Brown sugar has some of the molasses in it from when the sugar cane (or beets) were cooked down. It has additional flavor which white sugar lacks.

The posts to which you've linked have absolutely nothing to do with what you just posted.

I thought this thread was about red vs white onions and hoped for an interesting discussion

You only use sugar if you are short on time and need to get them super sticky and sweet.
If you got the time, just take a shed load of onions, your fat and start cooking them real slow. At a bit of liquid and cover, uncover every now and then to move them around a bit.
Takes time, but they will caremelise eventually.
Then theres the shortcut.
Same set up, just add brown sugar. Brown sugar caramlises much better than white sugar. Should have relatively sticky onions in under an hour.
