A plastic Baggie of silver stars

His mother always carries with her a plastic Baggie of silver stars. She takes one out, licks it and presses it onto his shirt.

Hi,

I guess "Baggie" in the above refers to "bag," but I'm afraid there is something cultural that I miss, isn't there? Thanks.

It would be like saying "He used a Kleenex" instead of "He used a tissue."
