It definitely is. Because you think Amazon is a place, a noun, and thus you think "packages" is a verb - the woman is packaging something. Then you realize Amazon is a brand adjective. Definitely garden path.
- Dylan16807 3y agoBut it's only those two words. You only have to go back one word, "packages". I understand how the misinterpretation happens, but I personally don't think a single misinterpreted word is enough to make a garden path sentence.
- windowshopping 3y agoI mean, not to be argumentative, but your personal opinion doesn't change the definition of the term. The first example on Wikipedia's article on it is "the old man the boat." Again, that's only one word, but it turns out there isn't a minimum word-backtracking-count to qualify.
