"Lliannanshe" makes an excellent point:  

"Regarding anagrams of Drooble's gum, Snape's name, etc., JKR has 
already done the anagram thing with "Tom Marvolo Riddle."  Don't 
y'all think she's creative enough not to do it twice?"


I have tried anagrams w/ droobles best blowing gum and have all but 
concluded that that's not the way to decode it, because there are so 
many possible ways to turn it around.  I agree that JK might not use 
the same device twice.
I've also tried cryptograms.  And I've wondered if Alice could add a 
mark here and there to change a letter, or to indicate a word break: 
putting a line next to an "o" would make it an "a" or a "p" depending 
on where you put it; a slash mark in the middle of a word could 
indicate a new word break.
I also wonder if there's something else on the wrapper besides what's 
already printed on it or what Alice could write on it; without this 
information, we may not be able to figure it out.
I'm almost at the point of letting Luna figure it out, because my 
brain is scrambled eggs.
