Abstract
Abstract An improved plate and cup includes present day disposable cardboard or plastic plate and cup and a double adhesive back material or reasonable thickness and in the form of a disc or ring. One side of the double adhesive back material sticks in position to the outside bottom surface of the disposable cardboard or plastic plate and cup on which plates and cups normally rest while in use. The opposite adhesive back, to preserve its effectiveness while not in use, is then protected with a thin wax paper which peels off easily when the plate or cup is to be used. This then renders the plate or cup stable upon being placed on a reasonably flat surface.
