Hmm.. I can't read the Chinese so I'll have to take a guess that it is trying to convey that Pepsi is trying to sponsor the fish??

go to Century Park in Shanghai. There are so many worse English signs there.

jfk2pvg -- Bingo!Gleefully -- I rarely bat an eye at most bad English signs in Chinese venues these days, but the Aquarium was jointly built and run by Singaporeans who presumably have a much better grasp of the language (OK, I admit Singlish has its quirks too, but still...) Therefore, such a sign there makes it slightly more funny......not to mention the surreal picture of Pepsi-drinking fish it paints in my mind. =)
