Dehydration is a wonderful thing in fiction! It can make anything from creatures to base elements shrink to an easily portable size, and all you need to do to return it to the way it was before is to put a drop of water on it!
Perhaps writers used to have a lot of those expansive sponges or they're very familiar with the factoid that a person is 70% water (a house is seventy percent bricks but try throwing some bricks at some concrete, metal poles and some roofing tiles). However the origin seems to be connected to Food Pills and the idea of astronaut food. Sailors, soldiers and astronauts have needed easily transportable, highly nutritious and long lasting ways of cooking and storing food (and in the case of astronauts, something you can eat in zero gravity), when trying to think of what might be useful for life (IN SPACE!), something like this trope turns up.
In a way it's connected to the tendency in sci-fi for large, complex objects to fold or retract into small ones, such as George Jetson's car turning into a suitcase, those vanishing animal-head masks in Stargate SG-1, or the capsule items in Dragon Ball. In all of these cases, the shrunken item is easily carried, implying all that mass actually went somewhere else. At the very least, there's an overarching trope here — the idea that if you make an object smaller, it magically gets lighter too.
There is an element of Truth in Television to this trope, at least as far as foodstuffs with a high water content go, as water actually is quite dense. A 1m × 1m × 1m cube of water weighs in at a metric tonnenote Allowing for some variation based on the water's temperature so if you can remove the water from a foodstuff you can remove a significant chunk of its mass. The reconstituted product you get from adding the water back is rarely remotely as palatable as the pre-dehydration product was (though some fruits make quite enjoyable snacks as dried fruit).

Megamind's dehydration ray, which is impossibly harmless. If you get hit with it, you get turned into a small perfect cube (presumably equivalent to the mass of you that isn't water, although we never see what happens to the water), and then as soon as that cube gets slightly damp it transforms back into a perfectly healthy human being. And he uses it on everything. Stray cats, bags of garbage, Minion, himself...

Parodied, like many things, in Batman. When Bruce and Dick are trapped in a greenhouse with just a glass of water each, Bruce pulls out instant costume capsules. After dropping one in each glass and they just needed to wait a few minutes for two fully loaded costumes to hydrate.

In the manga-only final story arc of Ranma ½, Akane grabs hold of a magical heat-producing staff which instantly boils all of the water out of her body, but rather than turning her into a desiccated mummy it turns her into a 6-inch-tall doll. To bring her back to life (and normal size) Ranma has to soak the doll in some magical water.

More than one Doraemon gadget has displayed this ability, where upon being dabbled with water, the item in question (usually appearing in the form of powder or Food Pills) will turn into a glorious feast. These usually show up in Doraemon's Long Tales when Doraemon and friends have to spend extended amount of times in the wilderness or outdoors.

Subverted and mocked in The Simpsons episode "Bart Sells His Soul": Bart uses the five dollars he got for his soul to buy dinosaur-shaped sponges which the page advertises as growing gigantic when made wet. Bart imagines them growing into large dinosaur-sized sponges which then frighten Lisa. What he gets is a pair of sponges that get slightly bigger and then get washed by the hose down the sewer drain.

Looney Tunes:
In the Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner cartoon "Scrambled Aches", Wile E. Coyote uses Acme Dehydrated Boulders, carrying a box to the edge of a cliff. One drop of H2O from an eye-dropper, lift expanded boulder high above head, and Surprisingly Realistic Outcome.
In the short "Hare-Way to the Stars", Marvin deploys Instant Martians from a gumball dispenser. Bugs later takes it with him to Earth and it accidentally falls down a sewer.
In another short "I Gopher You", the gopher twins see all the produce in the farm they live under sent to a food-processing plant. One of them falls into a dehydrator machine, which produces meals in tiny packets. The other uses water to rehydrate him, no worse for wear, on a platter with an apple in his mouth.

Rocko's Modern Life:
"Hut, Sut, Raw" had Rocko, Heffer, and Filbert go on a camping trip. At one point, Rocko takes out of bag of "Instant Fire" with the instructions "Just Add Water!"
In "Schnit-Heads," at the Sausage Works, new employee/cult member Heffer is served some kind of powdered mass for lunch. The cafeteria worker initially jokes it's dirt, and then reveals it's really powdered sausage: just add water! So he pours some water onto the powder and it instantly turns into regular sausage links. Naturally, Heffer thinks it's cool.
In "Future Schlock", after returning from a trip to outer space, having apparently not aged in that time, Rocko and Heffer are getting used to what is, from their perspective, the future. Heffer loves it.

The '60s' Batman: The Movie, where all the diplomats got dehydrated. Each of them was reduced to a test tube of powder, which didn't appear to be abnormally heavy. They just added water to the powder to return them to normal (Unless you used heavy water... then the results were not so good...)

The dehydrated food also appears in the Back to the Future animated series, where Verne would be bullied for lunch money, admit that he only has the pills, which the bullies then knock out of his hand and when they hit the wet ground they pop into a full-turkey dinner.

The original Space Quest game from Sierra On-Line, featured a canister of dehydrated water (hydrogen gas). Part of the game takes place on a desert planet; you actually have to drink the water to avoid dying. You could also throw the canister at the creature Orat. His belly would swell up and he would explode.

Star Trek: The Original Series:
An alien race from the Andromeda galaxy (the Kelvans) has the ability to "distill" people by using a device on their belts, reducing them down to a porous, softball-sized cuboctahedron. (Water not needed for restoration.)
Subverted in another episode, when an entire starship crew (except her captain) is dehydrated and crystallized by an unknown pathogen on a planet they visited. The process is shown to be very painful and irreversibly fatal.

An episode of the Timon & Pumbaa spinoff series of The Lion King (1994) centered around Timon getting a job at a fast food outlet, and constantly messing up an order for a disgruntled bear who makes it VERY clear that he doesn't like onions. In one such mishap, Timon realises in horror that the burger he had just served to the bear had dehydrated onions in it, and, as the bear opens his mouth to take a bite, a drop of saliva rolls off his tooth and onto the burger... Hilarity Ensues, as does more pain for Timon.
