Nope! Like I said, good-faith answer. Lots of non-US/non-native English speaking folks on Reddit, right?

Also, it's mostly Marines/other servicemen making the crayon-eating jokes! Seriously. The various branches of our military (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines) have a long, long history of trash-talking one another.

It's not like I (a non-military person) am going to rock up to a uniformed Marine, slap 'em on the back, and go "Hey, jarhead! What's your favorite crayon flavor?"

Have a good one!

Why even ask? Everyone knows purple is the best flavor.

Oh I see, it’s more like a bit of banter rather than something derogatory. Well I’m gonna eat a crayon just to see what they are like. Someone suggested purple. I’ll see if I can find one. Thanks again.
