English I learned today: "Thanks a lot" is used sarcastically, so you shouldn't use it when you're truly grateful. What?? This expression is taught a lot in Japan... I even remember it being on English tests...

That's not necessarily true. Context, tone and facial expression matters. If I said "Thanks alot 🙄" Then you would know I'm insincere about it and being sarcastic or a 皮肉屋 But if I said "Thanks alot! 🤩" Then it seems like I'm actually thankful. Pre and post-sentence leaders can also set the tone. For instance "Uhhh.... thanks alot?" "Thanks alot I guess.." Makes it seem kind of uncertain. So yeah there is a lot of circumstances that can change the meaning. Same as "I love it" Have some broccoli! "Great, I love it 😇" (Allergic to brocolli) Hehe I'm not really allergic to brocolli tho.

I'd say it probably is mostly used sarcastically nowadays, but it does depend on how it's said much more than the phrase itself. Saying its never used to express gratitude isn't quite correct.
