I like the expanded version better though. Seems somehow less obfuscated.
And the a=[] is superflous:

$ irb
>  foo = [1,2,3]
> bar = %w(a b c)
> foo.inject([]){ |result,a| bar.inject(result){ |result,b| result << [a,b] }}
=> [[1, "a"], [1, "b"], [1, "c"], [2, "a"], [2, "b"], [2, "c"], [3,
"a"], [3, "b"], [3, "c"]]
