Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos poked fun at Ripa's "sleeping bag" coat on a recent episode of ABC's "
"I have a coat that a lot of people think is a sleeping bag. It's not, it's not," Ripa explained. "It is made from all plastic bags that were found in the ocean."
After Ripa admitted that she couldn't remember the name of the company that produced the jacket, Consuelos joked that the "multipurpose" coat was so "reflective," it could be used to "bounce satellite feed" or even fry an egg.
Ripa's coat was then brought out on to set, and the actress explained that it was "extraordinarily loud."
"When I'm walking, I never realize how loud it is," Ripa said. "If I'm walking down the street, I startle [people] because my jacket is loud."
And even though the "All My Children" alum noted that the jacket was "louder than corduroys," she did tell Consuelos and the audience that it was very warm.
"It's a sleeping bag, and I got it on sale," Ripa joked.
Ripa and Consuelos have been married for 25 years. On Monday, Ripa revealed that she and Consuelos didn't have any special plans for the upcoming Valentine's Day on Tuesday.
"We've been together for almost 30 years," Ripa explained to cohost Ryan Seacrest, adding, "We've done everything a person can possibly do."
The pair eloped in 1996, the year after they met at Consuelos' "All My Children" audition. In the years that followed, they welcomed three children: Michael Consuelos, 24, Lola Consuelos, 20, and Joaquin Consuelos, 18.
