In the 1980s, Dry Idea was known for its famous commercials starring various celebrities giving advice including the tag line "Never let them see you sweat". Some of these celebrities included NFL Coach Dan Reeves, fashion designer Donna Karan, Comedian Elayne Boosler and Miss America 1987 Kellye Cash. An additional commercial included non-celebrity, Miami resident Bob Ozer, who spoke of Dry Idea helping him avoid being "sopping wet" despite his car being recently stolen and work being tough.
