  We investigate here the behavior of a few spherically symmetric static
acclaimed black hole solutions in respect of tidal forces in the geodesic
frame. It turns out that the forces diverge on the horizon of cold black holes
(CBH) while for ordinary ones, they do not. It is pointed out that Kruskal-like
extensions do not render the CBH metrics nonsingular. We present a CBH that is
available in the Brans-Dicke theory for which the tidal forces do not diverge
on the horizon and in that sense it is a better one.
