Kua tuhia ngā kōrero mō ngā kapu pepa i Haina emepaea ana, i reira i hangaia ai te pepa i te rautau 2 BC, ā, i whakamahia mō te mahi tī. He rerekē ngā rahi me ngā tae i hangaia ai, ā, he rerekē ngā hoahoa whakapaipai. Kei roto i te whakaahuatanga o ngā taonga o te whānau Yu, nō te tāone o Hangzhou, ngā taunakitanga tuhinga mō ngā kapu pepa.
I whakawhanakehia te kapu pepa hou i te rautau 20. I te tīmatanga o te rautau 20, he mea noa te whakamahi tahi i ngā karāhe, i ngā tōpana rānei i ngā puna wai pērā i ngā taputapu kura, i ngā oko wai rānei i roto i ngā tereina. Nā tēnei whakamahinga tahi i puta ai ngā āwangawanga hauora tūmatanui.
I runga i ēnei āwangawanga, ā, i te mea kua iti te utu me te ma o ngā taonga pepa (ina koa i muri i te hanganga o te Kapu Dixie i te tau 1908), ka aukatia te kapu whakamahi tahi e te rohe. Ko tētahi o ngā kamupene rerewē tuatahi ki te whakamahi i ngā kapu pepa whakakorekore ko te Lackawanna Railroad, i tīmata te whakamahi i te tau 1909.
Ko Dixie Cup te ingoa waitohu mō tētahi raina kapu pepa whakakorekore i whakawhanakehia tuatahitia i te United States i te tau 1907 e Lawrence Luellen, he rōia i Boston, Massachusetts, i āwangawanga mō ngā iroriki e horahia ana e te hunga e whakawhitiwhiti ana i ngā karāhe, i ngā tōpana rānei i ngā puna wai inu a te iwi.
I muri i te hanganga o tana kapu pepa me te puna wai e rite ana, ka whakatūria e ia te Kamupene Tuku Wai o Amerika o New England i Boston i te tau 1908. I tīmata te kamupene ki te hanga i te kapu me te Kaihoko Wai.
I te tuatahi i tapaina te Dixie Cup ko "Health Kup", engari mai i te tau 1919 i tapaina i muri i tētahi raina tāre i hangaia e te Kamupene Tāre a Alfred Schindler i New York. Nā te angitu i ārahi te kamupene, i tū i raro i ngā momo ingoa, ki te tapa i a ia anō ko te Dixie Cup Corporation, ā, ka neke ki tētahi wheketere i Wilson, Pennsylvania. I runga ake i te wheketere he tāke wai nui te āhua he kapu.
Heoi, e mārama ana, kāore tātou e inu kawhe mai i ngā kapu Dixie i ēnei rā. I te tekau tau atu i 1930 i kitea he maha ngā kapu hou e mau ana i ngā ringaringa—he tohu tēnei kua whakamahia kētia e te tangata ngā kapu pepa mō ngā inu wera. I te tau 1933, i tukuna e Sydney R. Koons o Ohio tētahi tono pateni mō tētahi kakau hei tāpiri ki ngā kapu pepa. I te tau 1936, i hangaia e Walter W. Cecil tētahi kapu pepa he kakau kei roto, he mea hanga hei whakaata i ngā kapu. Mai i te tekau tau atu i 1950, kāore i ruarua ko ngā kapu kawhe whakakorekore kei roto i ngā hinengaro o te tangata, i te mea ka tīmata ngā kaihanga ki te tuku pateni mō ngā taupoki i hangaia mō ngā kapu kawhe. Ā, kātahi ka tae mai te Wā Koura o te kapu kawhe whakakorekore mai i te tekau tau atu i 1960.
