Sunny D is an example of trashy.

Your word choices are strange OP - you use the words "trashy" + "cut" incorrectly. Diluting juice with water is a personal preference and has nothing to do with being "trashy".
When I fly, I ask for water with a splash of cranber justto add a little flavor

You wouldn't request this in public, would you? Why not? Because it feels a little trashy.
What?! It's not really something I do, but I would have no problem asking a restaurant to serve me a half glass of juice and water (or maybe just an extra glass so I could water it down myself). I also wouldn't think it's weird if a guest asked for this.
This thread is really weird.
Really, really weird. My kids like cranberry juice, but not straight. I used to ask for 1/2 cranberry - 1/2 water for them all the time. I’d probably do the same with OJ if they drank that too.

You can get a whole-home humidifier, you know.

This is a very strange question. Op - drink your drinks however you want to drink them. Nobody cares.
I mean, if you're doing this at a restaurant, people might think you're being cheap and trying to extend the longevity of your juice, but whatever, who cares?

I do. On airplanes I ask for a tiny cup of OJ or apple juice and a water. I mix and give to my preschooler

I do this in restaurants for my kids. Never an issue. I would have no problem asking for myself, either

If you are doing it for yourself, or for other people not paying for it and expecting undiluted then it isn't trashy. It's just diluted.
That's my point. Cutting/diluting orange juice has trashy roots -- poor families would add water to the jug to "stretch" what was left in the container, right?
Ah. Thinking something is trashy just because sometimes some poor people have done it is called "class insecurity." It means the person who thinks it isn't secure in their station of life.
I think the real marker of low class issues is in questioning whether it's "trashy," i.e., a signifier of lower social class. So it's not the doing of it, but the focusing on the doing of it.

One thing I miss about Florida when I was growing up is real orange juice that you got from roadside stands/farmers market. Before citrus canker too our trees we would make it ourselves too. Real fresh squeezed juice. Tropicana doesn't come close.

Are you concerned that people will come over to your million dollar home but assume you are poor because you are mixing a glass of diluted juice for yourself. What is going ON???

You're saying poor = trashy. You are not a decent human.

Seriously. OP, do you not know what trashy means?
+2. How would adding water to your juice be trashy? I rarely drink juice but when I do I generally mix half juice half water so it’s less sweet. I am completely confused as to how this would be seen as trashy, though I can understand that it’s might not be another persons taste.
Historically, adding water to the orange juice container was a low class / poor / trashy thing. Poor would serve you watered-down orange juice, people with a little money would offer you the good non-water-down stuff.
"Poor would serve you watered down orange juice." That's not even a sentence.
Tell me, "historically" how common it is to be offered orange juice by other people? Is it such a frequent thing that it has its own history? When was the last time you had your friends over for orange juice?
