An extra paper plate that you grab to put under the first to add reinforcement (in case it gets soggy, deformed, etc). Some of the time, one will keep the reinforcement plate, and only replace the top plate. The same can apply to cups.

Steve: Oh, those are reinforcement plates.
Bob: Okay, but could you stop eating all the chicken?
