We’ll sure, food coma is a thing. But at least my own anecdote is that sipping a sugary drink helps my focus and attention last longer. I haven’t done a formal double blind study but it is something I noticed after the fact—coffee doesn’t really work for me, but a sugary, milky coffe does. I found this by doing regression on a spreadsheet of my intake for a few months and self reported energy and focus levels.

It was after he fact that I found out this a commonly reported correlation. I wouldn’t be so quick to discount it as placebo.
