What does Quantum Dry mean?

What has QUANTUM got to do with an anti-perspirant? The history of the use of the word in Physics makes interesting reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum I hadn't realised that it had been used by physicists before Max Planck. Also that the Latin root is Quantus meaning "how great" presumably to do with size. So is that what is meant on this product? I wonder if it has to do with the popular idea of a quantum leap rather than the idea that dryness comes in discrete lumps. The quantum leap is said to be the jump from one electron energy level to another in Bohr's atom rather than a gradual change in energy. Quantum energy levels in atoms represent tiny energy but in the popular notion, a quantum leap is a sudden and abrupt leap forward.
