Apparently they do. Parody mugs featuring variations on their logo are pretty common. Here's one we picked up at the Hexham Car Boot Sale:
And there are others...
When over in the UK I did a quick google search for others in this genre and came across a few with dubious taste. "Alkie" for instance. And also, well, one I really would like to show ya but it does not appear on any searches on this side of the Atlantic. I guess you'll just have to imagine an image of Arnold Schwartzenegger in his most iconic, sunglasses wearing role, promising that
"Aldi Back"
To their credit the Aldi company takes a very relaxed stance on any parody products that can't plausibly be confused with grocery items. It's likely that whoever owns the IP for The Terminator sees things a little differently.....
