WORRIED parents have complained the design of Aldi’s new Kevin the Carrot Christmas toys is too frightening.
In a tweet Marcus Rashford teased the look of Kevin the Carrot, Eebanana Scrooge, Marcus Radishford and more.

But some parents said the design of Aldi’s new toys would scare their kids.
Festive ad star Eebanana Scrooge was compared to Count Dracula on account of his fang-like teeth and bizarre cloak.
Rachael R Scott wrote on Facebook: “I think it’s the bananas mouth and outfit it looks a bit like count Dracula.
“A cute one mind. Nothing scary about it tho.”
Another added: “Love the first look but man that banana is creepy!
But not all thought Eebanana looked so frightening.
Charlie Roberts commented: “Imagine your year being ruined because a supermarket is selling a ‘scary banana’ in the toy range you’re too old to be buying.”
