DRINK UP: The Coca-Cola Co. and drug maker Sanofi are partnering to launch a line of "beauty drinks" in France.

SMALL TEST: Coca-Cola declined to give details but said in a statement that the drinks will be sold in a "small scale pilot" limited to a number of pharmacies in the country.

BACKGROUND: Coca-Cola, the world's largest beverage maker, declined to comment beyond the statement. But as concerns about sugary drinks grow at home and abroad, the Atlanta-based company has moved to diversify its options.
