I'm a bit curious why the #{} wouldn't fit your needs, since you can put 
just about any method return within the curly brackets. sprintf and such 
are just needed when you need strict formatting, and your example doesn't.

For example:
i = 1
puts "Text is #{["Test 1", "Test 2"][i]}"

Produces: "Text is Test 2"
