Coca Cola vs Coca Cola Zero - Sugar Test
Given that most (if not all) sugar and carbohydrate metabolises into glucose (a sugar; one of the most important biological fuels your body uses) anyway, it's pretty OK to be "addicted" to it.
Still addicted to sugar though
Coca Cola vs Coca Cola Zero - Sugar Test
Is that Coke goop really all sugar? I mean... there must be some water left, right?

The Origin Of Starboard And Port
Far from being a "non-word", orientate is common usage in British English. Orient/orientate is one of those words where users of each form tend to regard their own as correct, and grumble about users of the "incorrect" form, but like so many such terms, both are correct. Orientate has been in use since the mid-19th century, according to Etymology Online.
As for aesthetic appeal, that doesn't really have any bearing on whether or not something is a word. You may not like it, but that's just a question of taste and context. It only sounds clumsy to those who don't live in places where it's commonly used; I'd be pretty confident in saying that "I oriented myself" sounds just as odd to a BE speaker as "I orientated myself" does to an AE speaker.
Sloppy in the sense that it means the same thing as 'oriented' but with extra letters, and those extra letters don't give it any extra aesthetic appeal, IMO.
It seems @artician may have been correct. This may be a non-word that saw such wide-spread use that it was legitimized, like irregardless.
The Origin Of Starboard And Port
"Sloppy"? How so? It's just a word. No need for the value judgement.
It's in the dictionary. It's a sloppy British word, but a word nonetheless.

You Probably Don't Need to Be on that Gluten-free Diet
Beating back the encroaching brambles of pseudoscientific bullshit that surround dietary science so that people who don't need to limit their diets can relax and eat a sandwich?

Foreign Foods You’re Eating Wrong
I've eaten sushi in Japan and the diners at my table (mostly Japanese) broke all of those rules, every single one of them. There were as many different ways to eat sushi as there were people sitting around the table.
