I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure it's a mid-west versus "coast" (both east and west) thing. I've always said "soda" up and down the east coast. I remember when my parents moved to Detroit, everyone there called it "pop" or occasionally "soda pop". I've friends from Pittsburgh, and they'll sometimes refer to it as "pop".

They'll also refer to those containers that grocery stores put your purchases in as "sacks", not "bags". Very odd. 
I grew up in Boston and always called it "tonic", as do my parents, my wife, and my in-laws. When I was in college I remember my roommates being confused by the tonic aisle that contained all sorts of soft-drinks.

I'm at the PHL SC right now (only person here in fact) and I must say it's an impressive club. The lighting and ceilings do a good job concealing the fact that there are no windows and the agent on duty is very friendly.
However, I wish there were more signs. I flew in on US and walked all the way to the end of the D Concourse and couldn't find the club. Eventually, I had to ask a gate agent where it is. While walking back, I noticed numerous signs pointing the way to the United Club, but none to the Skyclub.

But I agree, unless you come from the D/E checkpoint it is tough to find the DL club.

Well think about it, they didn't come up with the name "United Club" until the merger and by then they'd updated the logo so it stands to reason any sign saying United Club will have a Globe, right?
