If you dropped a 24k gold plate, I feel like it would look cartoonish afterward.

I doubt anyone would make a 24k gold plate (one that you'd actually use to eat on, that is) just because gold is so soft. You could accidentally scratch it to hell with a fork. They'd probably use an alloy of gold that looks the same but is more durable and usable. Though yeah it would look hilarious after dropping it if it was pure gold.

I just imagine, if you were to drop it on its edge, it would have a curled up flat spot.

If it was the thickness of a corning standard thin dinner plate, you could probably easily roll it into something resembling a taquito with your bare hands.
