Ants have a greater sense of smell which is brought about by the presence of a large number of cell surface odour receptors for ants.
Sweets in a tin are not naturally occurring products. Hence animals which depend on sweets or naturally occurring sweet products like fruits have a developed sense of smell brought about by increased number and specialized olfactory receptors.
Ants have an underdeveloped eyesight, hence they largely depend on smell for finding food. The trail of ants is further created by pheromones that signal other ants to follow the path that leads to the food.
