* ImpossiblyDeliciousFood: The meal Artyom orders at the train car diner after traveling with Khan. The meal he orders is very expensive, and is nothing more than a plate of fried ham and sautéed mushrooms with well made homebrew mushroom beer.

* ATankardOfMooseUrine: The ubiquitous "home-brew" - murky, frequently dangerous to drink and "goes down like sandpaper".

* LightIsNotGood: As if the Surface isn't dangerous enough thanks to the mutants, the combination of both living in the Metro's darkness for decades and (likely) a lack of ozone has made the sun's rays harmful to the people living there. Blindness is always a possibility during daylight.
