Dear Sir or Madam:

            As Vice  President,  Corporate  Division  Counsel of  PepsiCo,  Inc.
("PepsiCo"),  I have  acted  as  counsel  to  PepsiCo  in  connection  with  the
Registration  Statement on Form S-8 (the  "Registration  Statement") being filed
today  with the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  in  connection  with the
registration  under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended  (the  "Act"),  of
7,000,000  shares of PepsiCo Capital Stock, par value 1-2/3 cents per share (the
"Shares"),  pursuant  to the  PepsiCo  1995  Stock  Option  Incentive  Plan (the
"Plan").

            In connection with the opinion set forth below, I have examined such
records and  documents  and have made such  investigations  of law and fact as I
have deemed necessary.

            Based upon the  foregoing,  it is my opinion  that the Shares  being
registered  pursuant to the  Registration  Statement to which this opinion is an
exhibit,  when sold in  accordance  with the terms of the Plan,  will be legally
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

            I hereby  consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration  Statement and to the use of my name in the Registration  Statement
under the caption "Legal Opinion". In giving this consent, I do not admit that I
am in the category of persons whose  consent is required  under Section 7 of the
Act or the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission
thereunder.

                                    Very truly yours,
