I think actually a lot of people have been wondering about this (not 
necessarily on this site) but I found something when I was looking on 
and came across this.  When I saw your question, it popped back into 
my mind....

Drooble's Best Blowing Gum is an anagram of Gold bribe below St. Mungos

Very interesting...in book 5, Neville's Mum gives him a gum wrapper. Is she 
passing on an important message?

Whether it really means anything or not I don't know.  I did read something 
on JKR's site that she was quitting smoking and been chewing more gum.  So that 
could account for the wrappers on her site, but maybe not.  It is rather odd 
that of all the things Alice could give Neville she continuously gives him gum 
wrappers.  And for that matter where does she get the gum from in the first 
place?  Anyone else have any thoughts?
