Steals Your Thunder

The video discusses a student's frustration over a stolen science fair project idea and introduces the phrase 'stealing someone's thunder', explaining its origin with John Dennis in 1704. The student then brainstorms a new project idea: a lunch box that makes a thunder sound when someone tries to steal it.

What was the idea that the student in the story stole?

Can you think of a modern example of 'stealing someone's thunder'?
