Giving him a literal gold bar (though disguised as a stand) is stereotypical buying El Presidente in a Banana Republic bullshit.

I had to look it up: 24 karat is the purest form of gold. So yeah it's a gold bar 100% lmfao

Cook isn't handling it like solid gold though (it looks too light). I bet it's 24 karat gold plated zinc.

You might be right. Looks light indeed for true gold.
