There was a totally real chance he might have died from COVID in those early days when he caught it. That would have completely taken the wind from the sails of the anti-maskers and the antivaxxers.

That's true in general, but he might have been out of his mind like the allegedly (but almost certainly) true incident when he had his hands around the neck of his driver on Jan 6, insisting that he drive him to the Capitol.
But sure he could have died. I mean, ask Herman Cain.

According to the FDA, anything frozen is technically safe forever. Frozen products still need an expiration but they do have an indefinite lifespan. You could pop it open and take a bite and most likely be unharmed. Might taste odd or like freezer, be freezer burned, etc. but that doesn’t make it bad.

Ice-cream stays ok in Freezer depending on freezer, but not the time on those labels. A year , maybe? This, unfortunately, will be oxidised even though unopened.I have not seen these flavours commercially available ever!
It will be freezer burnt to dust as all the air that was trapped inside to make it fluffy will have wafted away and good luck if you decide to eat. Taste? You first

I used to eat TF out of the raspberry. The Wild Berry sorbet bars were also my jam. I was devastated when they discontinued their sorbets, which was probably not long after the OP's batch was made.
Nowadays, the best thing in the sorbet world is Open Nature Blueberry Acai from Albertsons. It's as good as I remember the Haagen-Dazs, and I've been eating at least a little bit every day for many years. It's outstanding. The Lemon is good every once in a while, and the Raspberry is just OK. I tried the Passion Fruit but didn't like it. I haven't tried the Mango and Strawberry.
