ELI5: Why do sugary solutions get sticky as they dry but salty solutions don't

Source: Have dropped a variety of IV solutions.

Sugar will form hydrogen bonds with all sorts of compounds. This means it can be "sticky" and hold lightly to things while still being in solution. 

Salt, however, will simply dry as a crystal and just be either in solution or out of solution, and can't interact very strongly with ions already in solution. Thus, it is not terribly sticky and will just make your hands a little salty.
