Spent a year using wet chain lube because the bottle said it was better for dirt

I was cleaning and re-lubing my commuter bike every 3 days last winter in Chicago and still getting a gritty chain. Switched to dry lube last month and I've gone 2 weeks without needing to touch it in the same conditions. Anyone else find the marketing on wet lube is just wishful thinking for real urban riding?

3 days cleaning in Chicago slush? @jakep24 you're tougher than me.

Man that wet lube marketing really got me too. I'm in Chicago and had the same gritty mess until a shop guy told me dry lube is way better for our slushy salty streets.
