In the video, a man was seen using a silver tool to unravel the center of the roll before eating it.
Crawley appeared to be left appalled by the way the man ate the cinnamon roll.
'That is not the correct way to eat a cinnamon roll,' he exclaimed.
'That is not the way you are supposed to do it.
'That is some false ass information about the cinnamon roll and I don't appreciate it.'
In the bizarre tirade, Crawley feared children would pick up the habit of unraveling the cinnamon roll before eating it.
Some fans labeled Crawley the 'cinnamon roll guy' as they paid tribute.

Thrilled fan collapses and dies at King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard concert
Mathew Gawiak, who beat cancer as a child, fell over after feeling dizzy at a King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard gig in Denver, Colorado, and was later pronounced dead A music lover collapsed and died at his favourite band's concert on Friday. Paramedics rushed through the crowd to tend to Mathew Gawiak after the 36-year-old man fell to the ground at a King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard gig in Denver, Colorado. His brother Christopher "watched his brother die right in front of him" as, despite the best efforts of medics, Mathew succumbed to his injuries. The Australian band stopped their set around one hour into the concert to alert medical staff to the emergency. They had been livestreaming the concert on their YouTube page at the time, but the video has now been removed. Paying tribute to his sibling, Christopher said: "Matt was a loving and beloved husband, son, brother, uncle and friend. He was the love of my life and my best friend, he was the kindest most genuine person that I've ever met." Christopher shared details of the tragedy on Reddit, revealing Mathew suddenly felt dizzy at the concert. King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, formed in 2010, have won awards for their live performances and their song Cyboogie briefly peaked at number two in the UK singles chart in 2019. Mathew, described as "a diehard Gizzard fan", was part of a huge crowd at the Field of Vision Festival on Friday, where his beloved band were headlining. But Mathew quickly fell unwell, with Christopher recalling: "They had to call in an ambulance because they ran out. For all intents and purposes, I watched my brother die right in front of me and I was powerless to do anything about it. "I find some peace knowing that he was surrounded by music and a community that was special to him and that he was truly happy in the moments before he tragically passed away." More than $53,000 (£40,000) has so far been raised on a GoFundMe page for the scientist's family to cover funeral costs and support his memory. Christopher, whose brother beat cancer as a child, continued: "'His passions included playing guitar, camping, skiing, traveling, cooking, live music, and above all else, sharing those experiences with the people he loved... He got his Masters and had a fulfilling career as a geospatial scientist. His goal in life was to make the people he loved happy." A joint statement from the band and the venue said: "Regarding the incident, we are deeply saddened to share that on Friday night, a guest passed away due to an unexpected medical event during the King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard concert at Meadow Creek despite the best efforts from emergency teams. We are sending our love and condolences to their family, friends, and the entire King Gizzard community."

Love Island star Helena Ford appears to take a swipe at rivals as show feud explodes
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island's Helena Ford may have sent a subtle dig at her fellow reality TV stars just weeks after leaving the Spanish villa. Helena was in a relationship with Harry Cooksley for much of this year's Love Island series, until he decided to recouple with Shakira Khan and would go on to be runners-up. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Love Island star Helena Ford appears to take a swipe at some of her show rivals Credit: @helenaforddd / TikTok 5 She seemed to poke fun at Shakira, Yasmin and Toni Credit: @helenaforddd / TikTok 5 Helena was dumped by Harry who moved on with Shakira Credit: @helenaforddd / TikTok 5 Shakira, Toni and Yasmin said they made good friends in the villa Credit: Shutterstock Editorial The blonde bombshell posted a video to TikTok showing her sitting in a hairdressers' chair, with her hair full of foils and it eventually cut to the final result. But it was in the voiceover to which Helena mimed to, that she may have taken a swipe at her fellow contestants, Shakira, Toni Laites and Yasmin Pettet. The audio was a clip from an interview with actress Ariana Greenblatt, who played the 'mean girl' daughter in the Barbie movie. Ariana says: "Whatever, we all know blondes have more fun, because their bleach is in their hair, let's talk about it." Helena's use of the audio could be seen as a dig to Shakira, Toni and Yasmin, who were often billed as the being given the 'mean girls' edit during this series of Love Island. Her TikTok also coincided with the release of an i-D Magazine feature interview with the three Islanders where they talked about feeling grateful they could represent brunettes and in Shakira's case, the South Asian community. "What have I signed up for?" Shakira said in the i-D interview. 'Everyone's gonna love the blonde hair, blue-eyed girls, we see year in year out on Love Island. I thought, based on initial attraction, it wasn't going to go well for me, but I was pleasantly surprised.' Shakira, Toni and Yasmin also addressed the ongoing feuds and rivalries in the villa describing at "classic High School behaviour". 'We felt that massively in the changing room, the snickers, the whispers, the dirty look," Shakira said. "When you come around the corner and they stop talking, you feel isolated, it feels frosty, really tense, and it's not nice. "It wasn't a bad edit; we tried to fix it, but that was our experience, we lived it.' Despite having a rocky relationship with some of their co-stars, the trio stuck together and gracefully took on every obstacle thrown at them. Toni won the series alongside Cach and scooped a prize of £50k, while Shakira and Harry and Yas and Jamie are also going strong. Despite each bagging themselves a new fella, they have proudly said that the real prize is the friendships they made.
