query question

I have shopping cart and the items are stored in a
StoreCart table. I'm trying to write a query that
returns the items in the cart in certain way but I don't
know how to do it. Say for example that I have the
following items:
Product Qty
-- --
Toy_1 3
Toy_2 1
Toy_3 2
I want to write a query that will return the item the
number of times that the Qty field has.
Product
--
Toy_1
Toy_1
Toy_1
Toy_2
Toy_3
Toy_3
How can I do this?
TIA,

create table N(i int primary key)
go
set nocount on
declare @.i int
set @.i = 0
while @.i < 10000
begin
insert into N(i) values (@.i)
set @.i = @.i + 1
end
go
create table cart(product varchar(50) not null, Qty int not null, primary
key (Product,qty))
insert into cart(product,qty)values('Toy_1',3)
insert into cart(product,qty)values('Toy_2',1)
insert into cart(product,qty)values('Toy_3',2)
go
select product
from
cart
join N on n.i < cart.qty
order by product
