To answer my own email, that is still not exactly what you
want, is it.

We need to flatten the first level.

  irb(main):004:0>  foo.collect { |f| f * bar }.inject([]) { |a,e| a.concat e }
  => [["a", 1], ["a", 2], ["a", 3], ["b", 1], ["b", 2], ["b", 3], ["c", 1],
  ["c", 2], ["c", 3]]

There, that's better, but ugly. Anyone got a cleaner way to flatten?
